1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
WARNING
Some pump
components have a finite life. All components should be inspected
frequently and replaced if found to be worn, damaged, broken, cracked, or
missing.
Risk of Electric Shock
.
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or cause death. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, do NOT use an extension cord to connect unit to electric supply.
Provide a properly located outlet. It is required that licensed electricians do all
electrical wiring. All electrical wiring MUST be in conformance with applicable
local and national codes and regulations. Before working on pump or motor,
disconnect motor wiring.
WARNING
WARNING
Do NOT bury cord. Place the cord on the ground so it can avoid abuse from
lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and other equipment.
Connect only to a grounding type receptacle protected by a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). Contact a licensed electrician if you cannot verify that
the receptacle is protected by a GFCI.
Failure to bond pump to pool structure will increase risk for electrocution
and could result in injury or death. To reduce the risk of electric shock, see
installation instructions and consult a professional electrician on how to bond
pump.
Also, contact a licensed electrician for information on local electrical codes
for bonding requirements. Use a solid copper conductor, size 8 or larger.
Run a continuous wire from external bonding lug to reinforcing rod or mesh.
Connect a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) 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. (1.5m) of inside walls of swimming pool, spa, or
hot tub.
IMPORTANT
- Reference NEC codes for all wiring standards including, but not
limited to, grounding, bonding, and other general wiring procedures.
NOTE
- The National Electrical Code (NEC) permits use of a cord with a
maximum 3 ft. (1 m) length. If your pump is equipped with a cord complying
with the NEC, the preceeding four (4) hazards apply.
