ELECTRICAL
Risk of electrical shock. Plug pump into a grounded, GFCI-protected 115
Volt circuit only. Incorrect voltage can cause fire or seriously damage
motor and voids warranty. Protect cord from water and physical damage.
GFCI tripping indicates an electrical problem. If GFCI trips and will not
reset, have a qualified electrician inspect and repair electrical system.
Risk of electrical shock. Unplug motor before servicing or re-
pairing pump or motor.
Wiring:
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 or
spa users. For size of GFCI required and test procedures for GFCI, see manufac-
turer’s instructions.
In case of power outage, check GFCI for tripping (which will prevent normal
water circulation); reset if necessary.
Do not connect any other lights or appliances to the same circuit.
Match circuit breaker size to Table II below.
• Do not modify cord, plug, or receptacle. If an existing circuit must be used
and the receptacle and plug do not match exactly, consult a licensed electri-
cian.
• Do not use an extension or drop cord with this system; it could cause a fire
hazard or low voltage problems. Wet cords cause shock hazards. Extension
cords can easily become cut or frayed and dangerous when placed across
yard areas or walkways.
Voltage:
Voltage at motor must be not more than 10% above or below motor name-
plate rated voltage or motor may overheat, causing overload tripping and re-
duced component life. If voltage is less than 90% or more than 110% of rated
voltage when motor is running at full load, consult power company.
