CAUTION
Failure to provide data plate voltage (within 10%)
during operation will cause the motor to overheat
and void the warranty.
4.3.2
Bonding and Grounding
The motor frame must be grounded to a reliable
grounding point using a solid copper conductor, No.
8 AWG (8.4mm
) or larger. In Canada, No. 6 AWG
2
(13.3mm
) or larger must be used. Do not ground to a
2
gas supply line.
The motor must be bonded to all metal parts of the
swimming pool, spa, or hot tub structure and to all
electrical equipment, metal conduit, and metal piping
within five (5) feet (1,5 meter) of the inside walls of the
swimming pool, spa, or hot tub. Bond the motor using
the provided external lug.
National Electrical Code
®
of the Pool Water. Where none of the bonded pool
equipment, structures, or parts are in direct connection
with the pool water; the pool water shall be in
direct contact with an approved corrosion-resistant
conductive surface that exposes not less than 5800
mm² (9 in²) of the surface area to the pool water at all
times. The conductive surface shall be located where
it is not exposed to physical damage or dislodgement
during usual pool activities, and it shall be bonded in
accordance with the bonding requirements of NEC
Article 680. Refer to locally enforced codes for any
additional pool and spa bonding requirements.

1.
Turn off all electrical power at the breakers.
2.
Ensure that the pump is installed and firmly attached to
a solid foundation. See Figure 3.
3.
Use flexible conduit to route supply power lines
to pump location.
4.
Determine the best conduit port to use. There is one on
the side and one in the back of the capacitor housing.
5.
Loosen do not remove the 4 screws securing the
electrical housing cover to the pump body. See Figure 4.
6.
Remove the electrical housing cover and seal assembly.
7.
Inspect the cover and seal for any damage or improper
seating. Replace if necessary.
CAUTION
Be careful not to overtighten any conduit fitting.
Overtightening can cause the housing to crack.

Installation and Operation Manual
To avoid the risk of property damage, severe
personal injury, and/or death, always disconnect the
power source before working on a motor or its
connected load.
To avoid the risk of property damage, severe personal
injury, and/or death, make sure that the control switch
or time clock is installed in an accessible location so
that in the event of an equipment failure or a loose
plumbing fitting the equipment can be turned off. This
location must not be in the same area as the pool
pump, filter, and other equipment.
The pump must be permanently connected to a
dedicated electrical circuit. No other equipment,
lights, appliances or outlets may be connected to
the pump circuit, with the exception of devices that
may be required to operate simultaneously with the
pump, such as a chlorinating device or heater.
