Wiring - A.O. Smith VB-500, VB-750 Instruction Manual

WIRING

Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls.
Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.
Verify proper operation after servicing. Strict adherence to the
wiring diagrams is required to prevent constant pump operation
when the system controller is satisfied. Otherwise the warranty is
void as stipulated in the limited warranty in this installation manual.
If any of the original wire, as supplied with the appliance, must be
replaced, it must be replaced with type 105°C wire or its equivalent.
