Motor

Be sure motor is kept dry and covered. In mild climate area, when freezing may occur, run pump and filter equipment continuously to prevent freezing.

Your pump is equipped with a permanently lubricated, maintenance-free, heavy- duty industrial quality motor especially designed to withstand the heavy-duty requirements of swimming pool application. Wiring connection must agree with incoming line voltage. Improper wiring can cause serious injuries and damage to the motor, voiding warranty.

NOTE: Your motor is designed to withstand the effects of normal rainfall. To increase the life of your motor, observe the following:

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 chemical on or near motor.

9.) Avoid splashing water or hosing deck near motor. Water damage voids warranty.

For replacements, contact your local supplier or authorized service center.

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.

BONDING WIRE - Upon installation of the pump, the motor must be bonded with (no smaller than) a No. 8 AWG solid copper conductor per National Electrical 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 6 feet (1.5 m) 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 wiring diagram on motor rating plate.
