WARNING
Wiring Overview and Installation
All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with all applicable local codes, regulations,
and the National Electric Code® (NEC®). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot
verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI. The unit must be connected only to a supply
circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Such a GFCI should be
provided by the installer and should be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push
the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should be
restored. The GFCI is defective if the GFCI fails to operate in this way. If the GFCI inter-
rupts power to the pump without the test button being pushed, a ground current is flowing,
indicating the possibility of an electric shock. Stop using this pump. Disconnect the pump
and ask a qualified professional to correct the problem before using.
Wiring Instruction
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION. The
Pool Pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician
or a qualified service professional in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances.
Improper installation will create an electrical hazard which could
result in death or serious injury to users, installers, or others due
to electrical shock, and may also cause damage to property.
Always disconnect power to the pump at the circuit breaker before
servicing the pump. Failure to do so could result in death or
serious injury to service people, pool users, or others due to
electric shock and/or property damage.
Read all servicing instructions before working on the pump.
