HAND TIGHTEN
the union nut only! Excessive torque is unnecessary and may cause damage to the union
and pump.
DO NOT
use a pipe wrench or over torque the nut! There is a gasket supplied with the sleeve
connector. If the connector is tightened properly there is no need for any sealant or lubricant to be used on
the gasket.
Contaminants such as pipe compounds or over tightening of the nut can cause the union
to fail.
Pumps are equipped with a self-lubricating mechanical shaft seal. As with any mechanical seal, it may
6.
eventually leak as a result of wear or if particles of dirt become lodged between the seal faces. It is
recommended that a drip pan be installed so that any leakage can be readily seen and to avoid water
damage.
Pump motors are equipped with an automatic thermal overload protector to prevent motor damage from
7.
overheating.
These motors will restart automatically as the motor cools down. Do not work on the
motor without first shutting off the electricity at the source.
Nuisance thermal tripping can be avoided if
proper ventilation is provided to the pump. Insulation should not be put around or near the pump motor.
All airswitch actuators and electronic keypads which are used to operate the pump unit must be located
8.
above the tub’s maximum water level.
All electronic keypads must be routed clear of grounded metal and high voltage wiring.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Examine the pump to determine whether your unit has been supplied with:
pre-wired 3 foot cord with plug attachment (-C)
•
pre-wired 3 foot cord with specially configured plug (-CJ)
•
Pump/motor must be wired to the system with the correct incoming voltage
•
ONLY
by a licensed electrician
in accordance with applicable electrical codes. Motor voltage, ampere draw and frequency appear on the
motor nameplate.
DO NOT EXCEED NAMEPLATE VOLTAGE.
•
WARNING!
•
All electrical work must be done by a licensed electrician. Before working on the motors be
certain that the electrical power is off at the main junction box. Disconnect the fuse or the circuit breaker
and tag the main switch:
“Do not energize this switch. Personnel working on equipment”
.
The wire used to supply power to the motor must be large enough to carry the necessary amperes for the
•
required length without excessive voltage drop. Cord connected units are pre-wired at the factory. No
additional wiring is necessary.
A solid copper bonding connector, no smaller than no. 8 AWG (8.4mm), must be connected from the
•
accessible wire connector on the motor to all metal parts of the whirlpool bath structure, and to all electrical
equipment, metal conduit, and metal piping, within 5 feet (1.5m) of the inside walls of the whirlpool bath
when the motor is installed within 5 feet of the inside walls of the whirlpool bath.
All internal motor wiring is done at the factory. No additional wiring is necessary.
•
BASIC OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Make sure power is supplied to the pump (circuit breaker is on, GFCI is set, and pump is ‘plugged in’).
•
Fill the tub with water - at a minimum to a level above the highest jet. In the case of some manufacturer’s
•
specifications, fill water to the low water level sensor indicator.
To turn pump on depress airswitch button OR depress on/off button on keypad OR turn on wall timer.
•
(Refer to tub manufacturer’s user manual to determine your specific design of tub unit). If AT model pump,
the timer will set automatically.
To turn unit off, depress airswitch button OR depress on/off button on keypad OR turn off wall timer.
•
