Motor Control
It is your responsibility to contact a qualified
electrician to assure that the electrical installation is
adequate and in conformance with all national and
local codes and ordinances.
Determine the correct overload setting required to
protect the motor (see motor starter manufacturer’s
recommendations). Select fuses, motor protective
switches or thermal protective switches to provide
protection. Fuses act as short circuit protection for the
motor, not as protection against overload. Incoming
line fuses help to withstand the motor’s starting current.
Motor starters with thermal magnetic overload or circuit
breakers protect motor from overload or reduced
voltage conditions.
The wiring diagram supplied with the product provides
required electrical information. Check that power
source is correct to properly operate the dual-voltage
motors.
Correct installation is your responsibility.
Make sure
you have the proper installation conditions and that
installation clearances do not block air flow. Proper
guards should be installed to prevent contact with
moveable parts of this pump. Do Not lift the unit by
the fan shroud.
