Always disconnect electrical power at the fuse box or circuit breaker panel before handling electrical
connections or performing maintenance on this unit. Allow the motor to come to a complete stop
and wait two (2) minutes. This allows the capacitors to discharge any residual voltage.
·
All aspects of the installation must conform to the applicable requirements of the NEC, including
Article 430 (Motor Circuits and Controllers)
, as well as all local codes.
·
Double-check to make sure that electrical power is removed and that it cannot be turned on while
you are working on the equipment.
·
A poor electrical connection can overheat and cause terminal and/or terminal board failures.
Examine the connections carefully for any signs of physical deterioration or loose fit to the motor
terminal block.
·
Care must be taken to assure connections are made to the proper terminals and adequate electrical
clearances are maintained.
·
The control unit on the motor contains hazardous voltage.
·
Wear safety glasses to inspect the equipment while it is running or while working on equipment.

·
Voltage symbols vary among different multimeters and may be displayed as Vac, AC, V, or a V
beneath a wavy line. Select the correct symbol and set the multimeter to the voltage closest to but
higher than the voltage you are measuring.
·
Although designed for outdoor application, the Neptune
™
1.25HP motor is properly packaged for
