Make the Following Electrical
Con nec tions:
a. Connect the pump leads to
the control panel. If pump
is single phase and the panel
has start ca pac i tor, start
relay and run ca pac i tor, it is
critical that the pump leads
be connected prop er ly. The
White, Black, and Red pump
leads must be connected to
the ap pro pri ate terminals
as direct
ed by the panel
schematic and the label on
