SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
When you receive the pump, check the carton for damage. Open the carton and check the pump for concealed damage,
such as cracks, dents, or a bent base. If you find damage, contact the shipper or the distributor where the pump was
purchased.
The pump must be placed on a solid foundation that will not vibrate, Jacuzzi® recommends bolting the pump to the
foundation and providing adequate drainage should any leaks develop.
ELECTRICAL
All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician and conform to all federal, state and local codes. When
installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
The correct voltage and frequency as specified on the pump data plate is necessary for proper performance and long motor
life. Make sure that the wiring specification meets or exceeds the motor requirements (220V), see the following for
recommendations.
USE MINIMUM OF 14 GAUGE FOR SUPPLY WIRE SIZE UP TO 150 FT (220 VOLT)
?
1.
When in doubt, use a heavier gauge (larger diameter) wire, which helps the motor to run cooler and more
efficiently.
2.
Make sure all electrical connections are clean and tight.
3.
Cut wires to the appropriate length so they don’t overlap or touch when connected to the terminal board, and
insulate all connections carefully to prevent grounding or short circuits.
4.
Permanently ground the motor using the green ground terminal located on the inside of the motor canopy, under
the access plate.
5.
Use the correct wire size and type specified by the National Electrical Code, “NEC” (or Canadian Electric Code,
“CEC”, for Canada). Make sure the ground wire is connected to an electrical service ground.
6.
Electrically bond the motor to the pool structure in accordance with the National Electrical Code) or Canadian
Electric Code for Canada). Use a solid No 8 AWG or larger copper conductor.

Additionally, run a wire from the external bonding point to the pool bonding structure following the NEC/CEC.

Connect the pump to a permanent/dedicated circuit. Make sure no other lights or appliances are on the same
circuit.
WARNING:
make sure all electrical breakers and switches are turned off before wiring the motor
