Install a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) in
circuit; it will sense a short-circuit to ground and
disconnect power before it becomes dangerous to pool
users. For size of GFCI required and test procedures for
GFCI, see manufacturer’s instruction.
In case of power outage, check GFCI for tripping (which
will prevent normal pump operation). Reset if
necessary.
NOTICE: If you do not use conduit when wiring motor,
be sure to seal wire opening on end of motor to prevent
dirt, bugs, etc., from entering.
Risk of dangerous or fatal electrical shock.
Be sure that power to the motor circuit is off before
working on wiring, wiring connections, or motor. Re-
install the motor end cover and all other wiring covers
before turning on the power.
1. Turn off power.
2. Remove the motor end cover.
To Wire a Single Speed, Single Voltage Motor
There are two terminals labeled L1 and L2. Attach the
power leads to these terminals. Either wire may attach to
either terminal.
To Wire a Dual-Voltage Motor
Dual voltage motors have a plug to change from 230
volts (factory setting) to 115 volts.
1. If you have 230 volts motor supply voltage, confirm
that the plug is set for 230 volts. The arrow on the
plug will point to the 230 volt position. Note that plug
only connects with one prong in this position.
2. If you have 115 volt supply, pull the plug straight up
and place it on the two brass prongs as shown.
NOTE: Arrow is highlighted for clarity.
