prevent leakage. Tighten fitting by hand and then use a tool to engage fitting an additional 1 ½ turns. Use care
when using Teflon tape as friction is reduced considerably;
Do NOT over-tighten fitting or you may cause
damage
. If leaks occur, remove fitting, clean off old Teflon tape, re-wrap with one to two additional layers of
Teflon tape, and re-install fitting.
Fittings
Fittings restrict flow. For better efficiency, use the fewest possible fittings (but at least two suction outlets). Avoid
fittings that could cause an air trap. Pool and spa fittings MUST conform to the International Association of
Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) standards. Use a non-entrapping suction fitting in pool (multiple
drains) or double suction (skimmer and main drain).
Electrical
WARNING –
Ground and bond motor before connecting to electrical power supply. Failure to ground and
bond pump motor can cause serious or fatal electrical shock hazard.
WARNING –
Do NOT ground to a gas supply line.
WARNING –
To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock, turn OFF power to motor before working on
electrical connections.
WARNING –
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) tripping indicates electrical problem. If GFCI trips
and won’t reset, consult electrician to inspect and repair electrical system.
WARNING –
Fire Hazard.
Match supply voltage to motor nameplate voltage.
Insure that the electrical supply available agrees with the motor’s voltage, phase
