Step 2. Provide a correctly fused disconnect switch for protection while
working on motor. Consult local or national electrical codes for
switch requirements.
Step 3. Disconnect power before servicing motor or pump. If the discon-
nect switch is out of sight of pump, lock it open and tag it to pre-
vent unexpected power application.
Step 4. Ground the pump permanently using a wire of the same size as that
specified in wiring chart, below. Make ground connection to green
grounding terminal under motor canopy marked GRD. or
Step 5. Connect ground wire to a grounded lead in the service panel or to
a metal underground water pipe or well casing at least 10 feet long.
Do not connect to plastic pipe or insulated fittings.
Step 6. Protect current carrying and grounding conductors from cuts,
grease, heat, oil, and chemicals.
Step 7. Connect current carrying conductors to terminals L1 and L2 under
motor canopy. When replacing motor, check wiring diagram on
motor nameplate against Figure 12. If the motor wiring diagram
does not match either diagram in Figure 12, follow the diagram on
the motor.
IMPORTANT: 115/230 Volt single phase models are shipped from factory
with motor wired for 230 volts. If power supply is 115 volts, remove motor
canopy and reconnect motor as shown in Figure 12. Do not try to run
motor as received on 115 volt current.
Step 8. Motor has automatic internal thermal overload protection. If motor
has stopped for unknown reasons, thermal overload may restart it
unexpectedly, which could cause injury or property damage.
Disconnect power before servicing motor.
Step 9. If this procedure or the wiring diagrams are confusing, consult a
licensed electrician.
