ELECTRICAL WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
Installation shall be in accordance with the national wiring rules (AS/NZS 3000) taking into account its
UÊ
ratings (Class I, IPX5). The pump is supplied with a plug connection designed to be connected to a
mating connection and cord for installation into a suitable spa pack or power supply.
However, depending on the installation conditions, selecting the correct Pool Zone for installation,
UÊ
carrying equipotential bonding of the pump that might be required, and selecting/installing the supply
through GFCI / RCD (see below) will require a qualified electrician. Do not use extension leads, as they
are unsafe in and around pool zone. The pump must be supplied from a circuit protected by a GFCI
/ RCD (also known as a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter [America]; or, in Europe, an RCD [Residual
Current Device], or ELCB [Electrical Leakage Circuit Breaker]).
Incorrect voltage can cause fire or seriously damage pump and voids warranty. Voltage at pump must
UÊ
not be more than 6% above or 10% below motor nameplate rated voltage or pump may overheat,
causing overload tripping and reduced component life. If voltage is less than 90% or more than 106% of
rated voltage when pump is running at full load, consult the power company.
The terminal for connection of the external equipotential bonding conductor is provided on the bottom
UÊ
of the motor body. Remove paint from the terminal surface and use a bolt of suitable size with some
means of security against loosening (spring washer, lock washer, or crown type lock) to secure the
conductor lug or other suitable termination means.
As the motor housing is made of aluminium, its direct connection to the copper equipotential
UÊ
conductors shall be avoided to reduce the risk of corrosion. The lug used shall be of metal having low
electrochemical potential to both copper and aluminium, such as tin/chromium plated copper.
Provide adequate ventilation to prevent the motor from overheating (minimum free distance from the
UÊ
back of the motor is 100mm and min. area is 50cm
2
). Without adequate ventilation the pump motor may
overheat causing the pump to stop.
These instructions shall be passed to the end user /operator.
UÊ
BASIC OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
The pump operator or owner must be provided with this owner’s manual. This must be read before
UÊ
operation, and followed during operation.
The pump is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. Young
UÊ
children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the pump.
NEVER run pump dry. Running pump dry may damage seals, causing leakage and flooding.
UÊ
Fill pump with water before starting motor.
Service & Maintenance
To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock hazard, turn OFF power to motor and remove plug from
UÊ
power outlet before working on pump or motor.
No lubrication or regular maintenance is needed beyond reasonable care.
Fire and burn hazard. Modern motors run at high temperatures. To reduce risk of fire, do not allow
UÊ
leaves, debris, or foreign matter to collect around the pump motor. To avoid burns when handling the
motor, let it cool for at least 20 minutes before trying to work on it. A thermal overload switch protects
the motor from heat damage during operation.
When pump is not in use and there is a risk of frost, empty it completely through the drain plug.
UÊ
Pump should only be serviced by qualified personnel. For best results, use only genuine service parts.
UÊ
Be sure to prime pump before starting.
No lubrication or regular maintenance is needed beyond reasonable care. When pump is not in use and
UÊ
there is a risk of frost, empty it completely through the drain plug. If shaft seal is worn or damaged,
consult your BWG authorized service agent.
