Hazardous voltage.
Can shock, burn, or
cause death. Disconnect power to motor
before working on pump or motor.
Ground motor before connecting to
power supply.
WIRING
Ground motor before connecting
to electrical power supply. Failure
to ground motor can cause severe or
fatal electrical shock hazard.
Do not ground to a gas supply line.
To avoid dangerous or fatal
electrical shock, turn OFF power to
motor before working on electrical
connections.
Supply voltage must be within
±10% of nameplate voltage.
Incorrect voltage can cause fire or
damage motor and voids warranty. If in
doubt, consult a licensed electrician.
Use wire size specified in Wiring
Chart (Page 5). If possible, connect
pump to a separate branch circuit with
no other appliances on it.
Wire motor according to diagram
on motor nameplate. If nameplate
diagram differs from diagrams above,
follow nameplate diagram.
1. Install, ground, bond, wire, and
maintain your pump in compliance
with the National Electrical Code
(NEC) in the U.S., or the Canadian
Electrical Code (CEC), as applicable,
and with all local codes and
ordinances that apply. Consult your
local building inspector for code
information.
2. Provide a correctly fused disconnect
switch for protection while working
on motor. For switch requirements,
consult your local building inspector
for information about codes.
3. Disconnect power before servicing
motor or pump. If the disconnect
switch is out of sight of pump, lock
it open and tag it to prevent
unexpected power application.
4. Connect a No. 8 AWG (8.4 sq. mm)
solid copper bonding wire to the
pressure wire connector provided
on the motor housing and to all
metal parts of the swimming pool,
spa, or hot tub and to all electrical
equipment, metal piping or conduit
within 5 feet (1.5m) of the inside
walls of swimming pool, spa, or hot
tub.
5. Ground the pump permanently
using a wire of the same size as that
specified in wiring chart (Page 5).
Make ground connection to green
grounding terminal under motor
canopy marked GRD. or
.
6. Connect ground wire to a grounded
lead in the service panel or to a
metal underground water pipe or
well casing at least 10 feet long. Do
not connect to plastic pipe or
insulated fittings.
7. Protect current carrying and
grounding conductors from cuts,
grease, heat, oil, and chemicals.

Connection diagram for dual voltage, single-phase motors.
Your dual-voltage motor’s terminal board (under the motor
end cover) will match one of the diagrams below. Follow that
diagram if necessary to convert motor to 115 Volt power.
Connect power supply wires to L1 and L2. For 3-phase
motors, or if motor does not match these pictures, follow
the connection diagram on the motor nameplate.
