Wiring the Motor
Follow the steps outlined below to wire the Neptune
™
1.25 Pool Pump Motor.
·
Always disconnect electrical power at the fuse box or circuit breaker panel before handling
electrical connections or performing maintenance on the motor. Allow the motor to come to a
complete stop and wait two (2) minutes. This allows the control bus capacitors to discharge
any residual voltage.
·
The control unit on the motor contains hazardous voltage.
1. Remove the four (4)
slotted head hex washer screws
securing the Wiring Compartment Cover. Set
the cover aside.
2. Remove the three (3)
slotted head hex washer screws
securing the High Voltage Compartment
Cover over the AC Input Terminal Block and set the cover aside (Figure 1).
