Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or
cause death.
Plug pump into a grounded power supply.
Do not alter cord or plug. Disconnect power to motor
before working on electrical connections.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) tripping
indicates an electrical problem. If GFCI trips and
will not reset, have a qualified electrician inspect and
repair electrical system.
Exactly match supply voltage to nameplate voltage.
Incorrect voltage can cause fire or seriously dam-
age motor and voids warranty. If in doubt consult a
licensed electrician.
Plug cord of pump directly into a GFCI protected
receptacle. Do not use an extension cord.
Voltage:
Voltage at motor must be not more than 10% above or
below motor nameplate rated voltage or motor may
overheat, causing overload tripping and reduced compo-
nent life. If voltage is less than 90% or more than 110%
of rated voltage when motor is running at full load, con-
sult power company.
Wiring:
Do not alter cord or plug on cord-connected units. Plug
in to a GFCI protected, grounded outlet only. If plug and
outlet do not match, consult a licensed electrician.
Table I, gives correct circuit breaker sizes for the pump
alone. If other lights or appliances are also on the same
circuit, be sure to add their amp loads to pump amp load
before figuring circuit breaker sizes. (If unsure how to do
this or if this is confusing, consult a licensed electrician.)
Use the load circuit breaker as the master on-off switch.
Install a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) in cir-
cuit; it will sense a short-circuit to ground and discon-
nect 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.

TABLE I - RECOMMENDED FUSING DATA
Values given in table below are for PUMP MOTOR ONLY. If additional accessories are installed on
pump motor circuit (heater, blower, etc.), include their amperage draw when figuring wire and circuit breaker sizes.
*Time delay fuses are recommended instead of standard fuses in any motor circuit.
