WIRING
WARNING
: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION.
This water
garden pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified water garden
serviceman in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and
ordinances. Improper installation will create an electrical hazard which could result in death or
damage to property. Always disconnect power to the water garden pump at the circuit breaker
before servicing the pump. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to serviceman,
water garden users or others due to electric shock.
1.
Make sure all electrical breakers and switches are turned off before wiring motor.
2.
Make sure that the wiring voltage matches the motor voltage (230v or 115v). If they do not
match the motor will burn up.
3.
Choose the correct wire size. When in doubt use a heavier gauge (larger diameter) wire.
Heavier gauge will allow the motor to run cooler and more efficient.
4.
Cut wires to the appropriate length so they don’t overlap or touch when connected to the
terminal board.
5.
Make sure all electrical connections are clean and tight.
6.
Permanently ground the motor using the internal, green ground terminal located on the
inside of the motor canopy or access plate. Use the correct wire size and type specified by
National Electrical Code. Make sure the ground wire is connected to an electrical service
ground.
7.
Bond the motor to the water garden structure in accordance with the National Electrical
Code. Use a solid No. 8 AWG or larger copper conductor. Run a wire from the brass
external bonding clamp to the water garden bonding structure.
8.
Connect the pump permanently to a circuit. Make sure no other lights or appliances are on
the same circuit.
NOTE
: If the pump is installed below the water level of the water garden, close
return and suction lines prior to opening hair and lint pot on pump. Make sure to re-
open valves prior to operating.
