ELECTRICAL
Ground motor before connecting to electrical power
supply. Failure to ground motor can cause severe
or fatal electrical shock hazard.
Do not ground to a gas supply line.
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 motor nameplate
voltage. Incorrect voltage can cause fire or
seriously damage motor and voids warranty. If in doubt
consult a licensed electrician. See Figure 4A & 4B.
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.

Connect a No. 8 AWG (8.4 sq.mm) solid copper bonding
wire to the pressure wire connector provided on the
motor housing and to all metal parts of the swimming
pool, spa, or hot tub and to all electrical equipment,
metal piping or conduit within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the inside
walls of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub.

Install, ground, bond and wire
motor according to local or
National Electrical Code
requirements.
Permanently ground motor.
Use green ground terminal
provided under motor canopy
or access plate (See Fig. 3);
use size and type wire required
by code. Connect motor
ground terminal to electrical
service ground.
Bond motor to pool structure.
Use a solid copper conductor,
size No. 8 AWG (8.4 sq.mm) or
larger. Run wire from external
bonding lug (see Fig. 3 pg. 5)
to reinforcing rod or mesh.
