Installation • Electrical
Fittings
Fittings restrict flow; for best efficiency use fewest
possible fittings (but at least two suction outlets).
Avoid fittings which could cause an air trap.
Pool fittings must conform to International Association of
Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) standards.
Use only non-entrapping suction fitting or
double suction.
Electrical
Risk of electric shock . Can shock, burn or
kill. Ground pump before connecting to power supply.
• Ground motor before connecting to electrical power
supply. Failure to ground motor can cause severe or
fatal electrical shock hazard.
• 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 electrical 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.
Risk of explosion . Do not ground to a gas
supply line.
Voltage
Voltage at motor must be not more than 10% above
or below motor nameplate 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.
