Electrical - STA-RITE ABG Series Owner's Manual

NOTICE: Determine circuit
breaker rating from Table I.
Determine correct outlet
required from illustration below.
"ABG" Models with -2A2, -2A4,
and -3A4 suffix use 15-amp
straight outlet.
"ABG" Models with -2A1 suffix
use 20-amp twist-lock outlet.
FIGURE 2 - Plug Configurations
Hazardous voltage.
Can shock, burn,
or cause death.
Plug pump into a
grounded power supply.
Do not alter cord or plug.
Values given in table below are for PUMP MOTOR ONLY. If additional accessories are installed on pump
motor circuit (heater, blower, etc.), include their amperage draw when figuring wire and circuit breaker sizes.

ELECTRICAL

To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock, turn OFF power to
motor before working on electrical connections.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) tripping indicates an electri-
cal problem. If GFCI trips and will not reset, have a qualified
electrician inspect and repair electrical system.
Exactly match supply voltage to nameplate voltage! Incorrect voltage
can cause fire or seriously damage motor and voids warranty.
If in doubt consult a licensed electrician.
Plug cord of pump directly into a GFCI protected receptacle.
Voltage:
Voltage at motor must be not more than 10% above or below motor name-
plate rated voltage or motor may overheat, causing overload tripping and
reduced component life. If voltage is less than 90% or more than 110% of
rated voltage when motor is running at full load, consult power company.
Wiring:
Do not alter cord or plug on cord-connected units. Plug in to a GFCI pro-
tected, grounded outlet only. If plug and outlet do not match, consult a
licensed electrician.
Table I, gives correct circuit breaker sizes for the pump alone. If other lights
or appliances are also on the same circuit, be sure to add their amp loads to
pump amp load before figuring circuit breaker sizes. (If unsure how to do
this or if this is confusing, consult a licensed electrician.) Use the load cir-
cuit breaker as the master on-off switch.
Install a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) in circuit; it will sense a
short-circuit to ground and disconnect power before it becomes dangerous
to pool users. For size of GFCI required and test procedures for GFCI, see
manufacturer's instruction.
In case of power outage, check GFCI for tripping (which will prevent normal
pump operation). Reset if necessary.
NOTICE: If you do not use conduit when wiring motor, be sure to seal wire
opening on end of motor to prevent dirt, bugs, etc., from entering.
