Pump must be permanently connected to circuit. Table I gives correct wire and 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 wire and 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 circuit; it will sense a short circuit to ground and disconnect power
before it becomes dangerous to pool users. For size of GFCI required and test procedures, see GFCI
manufacturer’s
instructions.
In case of power outage, check GFCI for tripping (which will prevent normal pump operation). Reset if necessary.
NOTICE
: If you do not use conduit when wiring motor, be sure to seal wire opening on end of motor to prevent dirt, bugs, etc., from
entering.

OPERATION & STORAGE
WARNING
: Risk of explosion. Before removing trap cover:
NOTICE
: NEVER run pump dry. Running pump dry may damage seals, causing leakage and flooding. Fill pump with
water before starting motor.
1.
Stop pump
before proceeding.
2.
Close gate valves
in suction and discharge pipes.
3.
Release all pressure
from pump and piping system.
4. If pump is being pressure tested, be sure pressure has been released before removing trap cover.
WARNING
:
Risk of fire and burns
. Motors run at high temperatures. To reduce the risk of fire, do not allow leaves,
debris, or foreign matter to collect around the pump motor. To avoid burns when handling the motor, let it cool for 20
minutes before trying to work on it. An automatic internal cut off switch protects the motor from heat damage during
operation.
