Note
When pump is mounted permanently within 5 ft. of the inside walls of a swimming pool, you must use a No. 8 AWG or
larger conductor to connect to bonding conductor lug.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
CAUTION
This pump is for use with permanently installed pools and may also be used with hot tubs and spas if so marked. Do
not use with storable pools. A permanently installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it
cannot be readily disassembled for storage. A storable pool is constructed so that it may be readily disassembled for
storage and reassembled to its original integrity and has a maximum dimension of 18 feet (5.49m) and a maximum wall
height of 42 inches (1.07m).
CAUTION
For hot tubs and spa pumps, do not install within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt of a hot tub or spa unless so
marked.
SECTION I.
GENERAL INFORMATION.
A. Wiring.
1. Make sure all electrical breakers and switches are turned off before wiring motor.
2. Make sure that the wiring voltage matches the motor
voltage (230v or 115v). If they do not match the
motor will burn up.
3. Choose a wire size from the Chart 1. When in doubt
use a heavier gauge (larger diameter) wire. Heavier
gauge will allow the motor to run cooler and more
efficient.
4. Make sure all electrical connections are clean and
tight.
5. Cut wires to the appropriate length so they don’t
overlap or touch when connected to the terminal
board.
WARNING
Risk of electrical shock or electrocution.
This pool pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool serviceman in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper
installation will create an electrical hazard which could result in death or serious injury to pool users,
installers, or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage to property.
Always disconnect power to the pool pump at the circuit breaker before servicing the pump. Failure to do
so could result in death or serious injury to serviceman, pool users or others due to electric shock.
