CAUTION
Failure to provide data plate voltage (within 10%)
during operation will cause the motor to overheat
and will void the warranty.
3.2.2 Bonding and Grounding
1.
The motor frame must be grounded to a reliable
grounding point using a solid copper conductor,
No. 8 AWG or larger. In Canada, No. 6 AWG or
larger must be used. If the pump is installed within
5 feet of the inside walls of the swimming pool,
spa, or hot tub, the motor frame must be bonded to
all metal parts of the swimming pool, spa, or hot
tub structure and to all electrical equipment, metal
conduit, and metal piping within 5 feet of the
inside walls of the swimming pool, spa, or hot tub.
2.
Bond the motor using the provided external lug.
WARNING
To avoid the risk of property damage, severe
personal injury, and/or death, always disconnect
the power source before working on a motor or its
connected load.
WARNING
To avoid the risk of property damage, severe
personal injury, and/or death, make sure that the
control switch or time clock is installed in an easily
accessible location, so that in the event of an
equipment failure or a loose plumbing fitting, the
equipment can be easily turned off.

The pump must be permanently connected to a
dedicated electrical circuit. No other equipment,
lights, appliances, or outlets may be connected to
the pump circuit, with the exception of devices that
may be required to operate simultaneously with the
pump, such as a chlorinating device or heater.
3.2.3 Electrical Wiring
To avoid risk of property damage, severe personal
injury, or death, always ground before connecting to
an electrical power suppy.
1.
The pump motor must be securely and adequately
grounded using the green screw provided. Ground
before attempting to connect to an electrical power
supply. Do not ground to a gas supply line.
2.
Wire size must be adequate to minimize a voltage
drop during the start-up and operation of the
pump. See Table 3 for suggested wire sizes.
3.
Insulate all connections carefully to prevent
grounding or short-circuits. Provide extra
protection for sharp edges on terminals. To
prevent wire nuts from loosening, tape them
using a suitable, listed (UL, ETL, CSA) electrical
insulating tape. For safety, and to prevent entry
of contaminants, reinstall all conduit and terminal
box covers. Do not force connections into the
conduit box.
4.
To configure the internal wiring of the pump motor
for the correct voltage, refer to the diagram on the
motor data plate.
