STARTING/PRIMING THE PUMP:

Pumps with single speed motors are self priming to 10 ft. and pumps with 2 speed motors are self priming to

10 ft. on high speed only. Fill strainer housing with water to suction pipe level. If water leakage occurs from

anywhere on the pump or lter, DO NOT start the pump. If no leakage occurs, stand at least 10 feet from pump

and/or lter and proceed with starting the pump.

Return to lter to close lter manual air relief valve when a steady stream of water (not air

or air and water) is discharged from valve. Failure to do so could result in severe personal

injury.

VOLTAGE

Voltage at motor MUST NOT be 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.

GROUNDING AND BONDING

• Install, ground, bond, and wire motor in accordance with local or national electrical code requirements.

• Permanently ground motor. Use green ground terminal provided under motor canopy or access place; use

size and type wire required by code. Connect motor ground terminal to electrical service ground.

• Bond motor to pool structure. Bonding will connect all metal parts within and around the pool with a

continuous wire. Bonding reduces the risk of a current passing between bonded metal objects, which could

potentially cause electrical shock if grounded or shorted. Reference NEC codes for all wiring standards

including, but not limited to, grounding, bonding and general wiring procedures.

• Use a solid copper conductor, per code. Run wire from external bonding lug to reinforcing rod or mesh.

Connect per code solid copper bonding wire to the pressure wire connector provided on the motor housing

and to all metal parts of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, and to all electrical equipment, metal piping

(except gas piping), and conduit within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of inside walls of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub.

WIRING

A licensed electrician must do all wiring.

Pump MUST be permanently connected to circuit. If other lights or appliances are also on the same circuit, be

sure to add their amp loads before calculating wire and circuit breaker sizes. Use the load circuit breaker as

the Master On-O󰀨 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 instructions. Pump MUST be permanently connected to GFCI. In case of a power outage,

check GFCI for tripping, which will prevent normal pump operation. Reset if necessary.

All suction and discharge valves MUST be OPEN, as well as lter air relief valve (if

available) on lter, when starting the circulating pump system. Failure to do so could result

in severe personal injury.
