INSTALLATION
Serious damage to the pump and injury
or death to personnel can result from
any alteration to the cable.
Field Wiring Connections (Incoming Power)
The pump is designed to operate with a 115 volt,
1 phase, 60 hertz power supply. The voltage avail
able at the motor must be within the range indi
cated in Table B‐3.
To calculate the voltage available at the motor, pro
ceed as follows:
a. Measure the voltage while the pump is oper
ating at full capacity. See wiring diagrams at
the end of this section.
b. Next, subtract the motor cable voltage drop
(see Table B‐4, Pump Power Cable Specifi
cations).
c. Do not continue to operate the pump if this
voltage is not within the recommended limits.
Obtain the services of a qualified electrician to
determine the correct field wiring size and oth
er details to ensure an adequate voltage sup
ply to the pump.

Pump Power Cable Connections
The electrical power used to operate
this pump is high enough to cause inju
ry or death. Obtain the services of a
qualified electrician to make all electri
cal connections. Make certain that the
pump and receptacle are properly
grounded.
The pump is provided with a 50 ft. (15,2 m) power
cable (see Table B‐4 for standard power cable
specifications) with one end wired into the pump
head. The other end terminates in a grounded
power plug. Power to the receptacle must be di
rected through a fused circuit, and the receptacle
must be controlled by a positive ON/OFF switch.
The use of extension cords is not recommended.
If extension cords are used, they must have three‐
wire single phase construction and have adequate
carrying capacity for their length.
Never attempt to alter the length or re
pair any power cable with a splice. The
pump motor and cable must be com
pletely waterproof. Injury or death may
result from alternations.
