SECTION 1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Check carton for any evidence of damage due to rough handling of the shipment. If carton or any pump component are
damaged, notify the carrier immediatly.
Failure to follow the safety instruction may result in serious adverse health effects, or even serious or fatal injury. Failure to
follow the safety instructions will in all cases invalidate all guarantees and liability on the part of the manufacturer.
SECTION 2. APPLICATION
Only to be used to circulate swimming pool water.
SECTION 3. ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS AND WIRING
Electrical installation shall be in accordance with the local wiring codes taking into account its ratings. The pump is supplied
with 1.5 m (5 feet) of cord.
A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) with maximum rated residual current of 30mA is required for the
power supply to the pump. Additionally, if a suitable socket outlet is not available a weatherproof socket must be installed
by an electrician in a suitable location. GFCI tripping indicates an electrical problem. If GFCI trips and will not reset have a
qualified electrician inspect and repair electrical system.
Do not use extension leads as they are unsafe in and around the pool area.
Incorrect voltage can cause fire or seriously damage pump and voids warranty.
Voltage at pump must not be more than 6% above or 10% below motor nameplate rated voltage or pump may overheat,
causing overload tripping and reduced component life.
Wiring Installation
Note: Before installing this product, read and follow all warning notices and instructions.
Risk of electrical shock or electrocution.
The AC pump connection must be done by a service professional as described in this manual and all applicable current lo-
cal regulations. The service professional installer should also be sure the pump motor has sufficient protection. All required
pump wiring and AC electrical information is shown on the pump's motor name plate.
BEFORE CONNECTING AC POWER WIRES TO THE PUMP, be sure to switch OFF the main AC power supply.
PUMP GROUNDING: BE SURE TO PERMANENTLY GROUND THE PUMP MOTOR.
Make sure all electrical breakers and switches are turned off before wiring motor.
Choose a wire size from the chart below. When in doubt use a heavier gauge (larger diameter) wire.
Heavier gauge will allow the motor to run cooler and more efficient. Make sure all electrical connections are clean and water
tight. Cut wires to the appropriate length so they don't overlap or touch when connected to the terminal board. Connect the
pump permanently to a separate circuit. Be sure no other lights or appliances are on the same circuit.
