Improper wiring can cause serious injuries and damage to the motor, voiding warranty.
(For wiring instructions, see system design diagram.)
NOTE: Motor is designed to withstand the effects of normal rainfall. To increase the life
of your motor, observe the following. However is it recommended to install the pump
out of the weather, if possible.
1.) Do not flood motor or submerge in water. To do so voids warranty.
2.) Provide ample cross ventilation, minimum of 6” at all points.
3.) Keep motor and surrounding area clean.
4.) Avoid sweeping or stirring dust near motor while it is running.
5.) Avoid storing or spilling dry chemicals, powders, etc., near motor.
6.) Provide protection against the elements.
7.) Locate motor on a slight elevation so water will drain away from motor.
8.) Avoid spilling or dripping liquid chemicals on or near motor.
9.) Avoid splashing water or hosing deck near motor. Water damage voids warranty.
For replacement parts or repairs, contact SunRay 1-855-372-8467.
WARNING – All electrical wiring of the motor installation must be done by a
qualified electrician in accordance with applicable electrical codes. Before working
on any motor be certain that the source of electrical power is off at the main junction
box.
GROUNDING WIRE – Upon installation of the pump, the motor must be
grounded with a No 8 AWG (8.4mm²) solid copper conductor per National Electric
Code. The connection should be from the accessible wire connector on the motor to
all metal parts of the swimming pool, spa, or hot tub structure and to all electrical
equipment, metal conduit, and metal piping within 5 feet (1.5mm) of the inside
walls of a swimming pool, spa or hot tub, when the motor is installed within 5 feet
of the inside walls of the swimming pool, spa, or hot tub.
Note: For electrical connections, see system wiring diagram.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
If pump looses prime, or if too many bubbles come through return line, check:
1.) Hair and lint pot cover is tight and O-ring is in place and free from defects.
2.) Valves on suction and return lines are working properly and open 3.) Water
level in pool is too low.
4.) Filter O-ring or gasket is in place and free from defects.
5.) All fittings and connections are secure and air tight.
Not pumping water, check:
1.) Filter pressure gauge reading too high, indicating filter needs cleaning.
2.) Clogged plumbing lines.
