• Use only stranded copper wire to motor and ground. Wire size MUST
limit the maximum voltage drop to 10% of the motor nameplate
voltage, at the motor terminals. Excessive voltage drop will affect
performance and void motor warranty. The ground wire must be at
least as large as the wires to the motor. Wires should be color coded for
ease of maintenance.
• Three phase motors require all leg protection with properly sized
magnetic starters and thermal overloads.
PERMANENTLY GROUND THE PUMP, MOTOR

FAILURE TO DO SO CAN CAUSE SHOCK, BURNS
OR DEATH.
• Connect the electrical leads to the motor, as follows:
• Single Phase Motors – Connect the BLACK wire to the BLACK motor
wire. Connect the WHITE wire to the WHITE motor wire. Connect the
GREEN wire to the GREEN motor wire.
• Three Phase Motors – See Figure 6.

NOTICE: UNIT ROTATION IS CLOCKWISE WHEN VIEWED FROM
MOTOR END. INCORRECT ROTATION MAY CAUSE
DAMAGE TO THE PUMP AND VOIDS WARRANTY.
• Check pump rotation by observing the motor fan or the coupling
THROUGH the coupling guard. DO NOT confuse the flow arrows,
stamped on the pump body, with the rotation arrows on the coupling
and motor adapter. Three phase motors only – If rotation is incorrect,
have a qualified electrician interchange any two of the three power cable
leads.
