To be sure that starting relay will function and
that overload will not "nuisance trip", install
control box vertically with top side up.
Wire control box as shown in Figures 1A and
1B. A 3-wire pump will not operate without
control box. Operation without control box will
burn out 3 wire motor.
Installation must include circuit and component
protection which meet local code and United
States National Electrical Code requirements.
If main overload trips, look for:
1. Shorted Capacitor
2. Voltage Problems
3. Overloaded or locked pump.
NOTICE: Match motor to control box as shown
below. Motor and control box model numbers
may include additional suffix numbers to the
right of the numbers shown here. These addi-
tional numbers are not important for control box
selection.
