CAUTION
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.to both the
pump and motor and will void the warranty.

Electrical Wiring
WARNING
To avoid risk of property damage, severe personal
injury, or death, always ground before connecting to an
electrical power supply.
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 2 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
with 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 pump motor's internal wiring for
the correct voltage, refer to the diagram on the
motor data plate.

Pressure Testing

When pressure testing a system with water, air is often
trapped in the system during the filling process. This
air will compress when the system is pressurized.
Should the system fail, this trapped air can propel
debris at a high speed and cause property damage,
severe personal injury or death. Every effort to remove
trapped air must be taken, including opening the bleed
valve on the filter and loosening the pump basket lid
while filling the pump.
Trapped air in system can cause the filter lid to be
blown off, which can result in death, serious injury,
or property damage. Be sure all air is properly
out of system before operating. DO NOT USE
COMPRESSED AIR TO PRESSURE TEST OR
CHECK FOR LEAKS.
Do not pressure test above 35 PSI. Pressure
testing must be done by a trained pool professional.
Circulation equipment that is not tested properly may
fail, which could result in severe injury or property
damage.
When pressure testing the system with water, it is very
important to make sure that the pump basket lid is
completely secure.
1.
Fill the system with water, using care to eliminate
trapped air.
2.
Pressurize the system with water to no more than
35 PSI.
3.
Close the valve to trap pressurized water in the
system.
4.
Carefully observe the system for leaks and/or
pressure decay.
