3. Call an electrician when in doubt. Pump should be connected to a separate 15 amps circuit breaker
or 15 amp fuse block. Note that, plugging into existing outlets may cause low voltage at motor,
causing blown fuses, tripping of Thermal Overload, or potentially burning out the pump.
4. A permanent ground connection from pump to the grounding bar at the service panel is mandatory.
Teton XPF pumps come with a grounding conductor and a grounding-type attachment plug.
Do not connect pump to a power supply until permanently grounded. For maximum safety, connect
pump to a circuit equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) device when you position
the pump's grounding wire.
5. Voltage of power supply must match the voltage of the pump.
6. Before installing pump, clear skimmer or pond of debris or sediment.
! WARNING
:
Teton XPF pumps are not designed for and CANNOT be installed in locations
classified as hazardous.
7.
! WARNING
:
The following may cause severe damage to pump and may void warranty:
(a) Using an extension cord.
(b) Cutting off the ground pin or using an adapter fitting.
(c) Working on pump or switch while plugged in.
(d) Removing motor housing, unscrewing impeller, or otherwise removing impeller seal.
(e) Pumping chemicals or corrosive liquids.
(f) Pumping gasoline or other flammable liquids.
8. Piping: Plastic PVC pipe, drain hose, galvanized steel or copper pipe may all be used. All piping
must be clean and free of all foreign matter to prevent clogging. Use thread compound on all threaded
joints unless specified otherwise. Be sure to seal the thread connection with tape seal when using
the pipe fitting to connect to the flange.
Electrical Wiring
Electrical Wire Connection:
! WARN I NG
:
Verify that the voltage and frequency of the pump shown on the nameplate corresponds to those
available on the main. The installer must make sure that the electric system is grounded in accordance with current
building code.
All plugs and connections should be located remotely from the pond, protected from water. Before us
ing the pump, always inspect it visually (especially power cable and plug).
Do not use the pump if it is damaged. If the pump is damaged, have it inspected by a professional or
the Authorized Dealer where it was purchased. Make sure that electric connections are protected from
flooding, heat, oil or sharp objects.
! WARNING
:
The power cable must be replaced by
a
qualified profes
sional only.
Grounding: The plug of the power cable has a double grounding contact, so that grounding will take
place by simply inserting the plug.
Overload protection:
The XPF series pumps have been designed with a built in Thermal Overload switch. The pump will
immediately stop if the Thermal Overload switch activates. The motor restarts automatically after it
has cooled down.
