recommended Maintenance
WARNING
!
Always disconnect electrical power
at the fuse box or circuit breaker before handling
electrical connections or performing maintenance
on this unit. Allow the motor to come to a complete
stop. This will allow the capacitors to discharge any
residual voltage for safety. Double check to make
sure power is oFF, and that it cannot be turned on
while you are working on the equipment.
Periodically inspect the installation.
• Check for dirt accumulations, unusual noises or vibration,
overheating, worn or loose couplings, high motor amps,
poor wiring or overheated connections, and for loose
mounting bolts or guards.
• Remove dirt accumulation, particularly in and around
the ventilation openings on the motor by vacuuming.
Dirt accumulations can cause motor overheating and
a fire hazard.
• Do not use any type of solvents! Some solvents may have
adverse interactions with the motor insulation, finish or
bearing lubricants. Solvents are also highly flammable.
• This motor has permanently lubricated bearings –
No further lubrication is recommended or required.

Nidec Motor Corporation (hereinafter “Nidec”) extends the
following LIMITED WARRANTY to the purchaser and to
its customers (collectively referred to as the “Purchaser”)
of the enclosed motor and components: the motor and
components are free from defects in materials and
workmanship under normal use, service and maintenance
FOR A PERIOD OF 12 MONTHS FROM THE DATE OF
ORIGINAL PURCHASE FROM NIDEC OR THE NIDEC

LIMITATION, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Certain aspects or
disclaimers are not applicable to consumer products,
i.e., motors and components acquired by individuals and
used for personal, family or household purposes (as
distinguished from industrial or other purposes). Some
states do not allow limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to
you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you
may have other rights which vary from state to state.
Certain repairs or services are the responsibility
of the Purchaser and the Purchaser is expected to
pay for them. This warranty does not extend to any

accompanying instructions or applicable codes.
If within thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s discovery of
any warranty defects within the above stated warranty
period, Purchaser notifies Nidec or the dealer from whom
the motor was purchased in writing, Nidec shall, at its
option and as Purchaser’s exclusive remedy, repair or
replace or refund the purchase price for, that portion of the
motor and components found by Nidec to be defective.
Failure by Purchaser to give such written notice within the
applicable time period shall be deemed an absolute and
unconditional waiver of Purchaser’s claim for such defects.
Purchaser must write or call the dealer from whom the
motor was purchased for directions regarding the shipment
of the motor, with freight prepaid by the Purchaser, to
an authorized service location for warranty service.
If Purchaser is unable to contact the dealer to obtain
sufficient instructions regarding the handling of the motor,
Purchaser should write Nidec at the address below, giving
the motor model number, the dealer’s name, address and
number of dealer’s invoice; and describing the nature of
the alleged defect. Arrangements for warranty service will
then be made by Nidec. If the motor is damaged in transit,
Purchaser should file a claim directly with the carrier.

CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER BASED
IN CONTRACT, INFRINGEMENT, NEGLIGENCE,
STRICT LIABILITY, OTHER TORT OR OTHERWISE),
SHALL NIDEC’S LIABILITY TO PURCHASER OR

PURCHASER FOR THE SPECIFIC MOTOR OR
OTHER GOODS PROVIDED BY NIDEC GIVING
RISE TO THE CAUSE OF ACTION. IN NO EVENT
SHALL NIDEC’S LIABILITY TO PURCHASER OR ITS
CUSTOMER EXTEND TO INCLUDE INCIDENTAL
CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, WITH

STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR
LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR
EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
How to Lower utility Bills by using the 2EZ Speed
TM
Motor/Timer
Did you know that just by reducing the motor speed to low,
you optimize your pool energy costs and still clean your
pool? This is a primary advantage of the 2EZ Speed
TM
motor/timer! Your electric bill is based on the number of
Kilowatt hours used in a typical billing cycle. The fewer
Kilowatts used, the lower the bill!
To calculate how much energy your current pool motor is
using and to calculate your potential savings with the 2EZ
Speed
TM
motor/timer, visit www.nidec-motor.com/Pool
and use our energy calculator. The calculator will show you
how many hours to run your pump each day along with the
appropriate speed settings for maximum energy savings
while enabling the proper amount of daily flow to properly
filter your pool.
IMPorTAnT noTE:
Contact your local utility company to
determine if there are times when usage may be prohibited,
then program your 2EZ Speed
TM
motor/timer to turn off or to
run at a very low flow rate during these periods.
General Troubleshooting
