Franklin Electric TurfBoss, Owner'S Manual

NOTICE:

 If you purchased a 3 phase pump/motor 

assembly, the motor rotation must be checked after 
priming the pump, but before continuous operation. 
Check the rotation by “bumping” the power to the 
motor and observing the coupling rotation. Reverse the 
rotation as instructed on the motor if it does not match 
the rotation arrow on the bracket. If you purchased 
a pump end and are attaching a three-phase motor, 
the rotation must be checked before the pump is 
connected to the motor. See “Installing Motor on Pump 
Ends” in this manual. A fused disconnect switch or 
circuit breaker should be placed at or near the pump.

DUAL VOLTAGE ADjUSTMENT
(Single-phase pump motor assemblies only)
NOTE: 

To change the motor voltage (Figure 6) 

unplug the dual voltage connector on the motor and 
reconnect it in the position required to match the 
available electrical system. The motor can be set for 
115 volts or 230 volts, except for 2 hp models which 
are 230 volts only. The voltage setting of the motor 
can be determined by looking at the alignment of 
the arrow on the plug and the arrow on the motor 
terminal board (located under the motor’s end cover). 
Any questions as to which voltage setting is required 
for proper motor and pump operation in your system 
should be directed to an electrical professional. The 
factory preset is 230 volts.

Wiring Installation

NOTICE: 

Check motor terminal cover or nameplate 

for wiring instructions. The essential pump motor facts 
are as follows:

1.) 3450 RPM
2.) Single Phase
3.) Dual Voltage, 115/230 on 1 and 1-1/2 HP; 230 V  

only on 2 HP motors.

4.) 1/2, 3/4, 1, and 1-1/2 Horsepower motors are 

wired for 230 volts as a factory standard.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

WARNING

  Hazardous 

voltage can shock, burn or 
cause death.

CAUTION

 If you are not 

sure of proper electrical 
connections, consult a licensed 
electrician.

CAUTION

 Improper wiring 

can result in permanent 
damage to the motor. All 
electrical wiring should meet 
the local electrical code.

NOTICE

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS!

    •  

Pump connection must comply with National 

Electric Code (NEC) or Canadian Electric 
Code (CEC), and all applicable local codes.

    •  

All dual voltage units come factory preset for 

230 volts. (Figure 3)

    •  Disconnect power at electrical panel before 

making any electrical connections.

    •  Supply voltage must be +/- 10% of motor 

nameplate voltage. Low or high voltage can 
damage the motor and will void the warranty.

    •  If possible, connect pump to dedicated branch 

circuit with no other appliances on it.

    •  Do not operate pump unless pump is grounded
