CHAPTER 3: ELECTRICAL
1. Ground and bond motor before connecting to
electrical power supply. Failure to ground and bond
pump motor can cause serious or fatal electrical
shock hazard.
2. Do NOT ground to a gas supply line.
3. To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock, turn
OFF power to motor before working on electrical
connections.
4. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) tripping
indicates electrical problem. If GFCI trips and won’t
reset, consult electrician to inspect and repair
electrical system.
▲WARNING Fire Hazard.
5. Match supply voltage to motor nameplate voltage.
Insure that the electrical supply available agrees
with the motor’s voltage, phase, and cycle, and
 that the wire size is adequate for the H.P. (KW)
rating and distance from the power source.
NOTE: All electrical wiring MUST be performed
by a licensed electrician, and MUST conform
to local codes and NEC regulations. Use copper
conductors only.
6. Voltage: Voltage at motor MUST NOT be more
than 10% above or below motor name plate rated
voltage, or motor may overheat, causing overload
tripping and reduced component life. If voltage is
less than 90% or more than 110% of rated voltage
when motor is running at full load, consult Power
Company.
7. Grounding and Bonding: Install, ground, bond,
and wire motor in accordance with local or national
 electricalcoderequirements.Permanentlyground
motor. Use green ground terminal provided under
motor canopy or access place; use size and type
 wire required by code. Connect motor ground
terminal to electrical service ground. Bond motor
to pool structure. Bonding will connect all metal
parts within and around the pool with a continuous
wire. Bonding reduces the risk of a current passing
between bonded metal objects, which could
potentially cause electrical shock if grounded

▲WARNING All Wiring Must be Done by a Licensed
Electrician.
8. Wiring: Pump MUST be permanently connected
to circuit. If other lights or appliances are also on
the same circuit, be sure to add their amp loads
before calculating wire and circuit breaker sizes. Use
the load circuit breaker as the Master On-Off switch.
Install a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
in circuit; it will sense a short-circuit to ground and
disconnect power before it becomes dangerous
 to pool users. For size of GFCI required and test
procedures for GFCI, see manufacturer’s instructions.
In case of a power outage, check GFCI for tripping,
which will prevent normal pump operation. Reset if
necessary. NOTE: If you do not use conduit when
wiring motor, be sure to seal wire opening on end of
motor to prevent dirt & bugs from entering.
CHAPTER 4: START-UP & OPERATION

CHAPTER 7: TROUBLESHOOTING
A. Motor Will NOT Start – Check For:
Make sure the terminal board connections agree
with the wiring diagram on motor data plate label.
 Be sure motor is wired for available eld supply
voltage (see pump operating label).
1. Improper or loose wiring connections; open
switches or relays; tripped circuit breakers, GFCIs,
or blown fuses.
Solution: Check all connections, circuit breakers,
and fuses. Reset tripped breakers or replace blown
fuses.
2. Manually check rotation of motor shaft for free
movement and lack of obstruction.
Solution: Refer to ‘Shaft Seal Change Instructions’
in this manual.
3. If you have a timer, be certain it is working properly.
Bypass it if necessary.
B. Motor Shuts OFF – Check For:
1. Lowvoltageatmotororpowerdrop(frequentlycaused
by undersized wiring or extension cord use).
Solution: Contact qualied professional to check
that the wiring gauge is heavy enough. NOTE: Your
 pumpmotorisequippedwithan‘automaticthermal
overload protector.’ The motor will automatically
shut off if power supply drops before heat damage
can build up causing windings to burn out. The
‘thermal overload protector’ will allow the motor to
automatically restart once the motor has cooled. It
will continue to cut On/Off until the problem is
corrected.
Be sure to correct cause of overheating.

C. Motor Hums, But Does NOT Start – Check For:
1. Impeller jammed with debris.
Solution:Haveaqualiedrepairprofessionalopen
the pump and remove the debris.
D. Pump Won’t Prime, Check For:
1. Empty pump/strainer housing.
Solution:Makesurepump/strainerhousingislled
with water and cover O-Ring is clean. Ensure O-Ring
is properly seated in the cover O-Ring groove.
Ensure O-ring is lubricated and that strainer cover
 is locked rmly in position. Lubricant will help to
create a tighter seal.
2. Loose connections on suction side.
Solution: Tighten pipe/union connections. NOTE:
Any self-priming pump will not prime if there are
suction air leaks. Leaks will result in bubbles
 emanatingfromreturnttingsonpoolwall.
3. Leaking O-ring or packing glands on valves.
Solution: Tighten, repair, or replace valves.
4. Strainer basket or skimmer basket loaded with
debris.
Solution: Remove strainer housing cover or
 skimmer cover, clean basket, and rell strainer
housing with water. Tighten cover.
5. Suction side clogged.
Solution: Contact a qualied repair professional.
Block off to determine if pump will develop a
vacuum. You should have 5 in. to 6 in. of vacuum
at the strainer cover (Only your pool dealer can
conrm this with a vacuum gauge). You may be
able to check by removing the skimmer basket and
holding your hand over the bottom port with
skimmer full and pump running. If no suction is felt,
check for line blockage.
a. If pump develops a vacuum, check for blocked
suction line or dirty strainer basket. An air leak
in the suction piping may be the cause.
b. If pump does not develop a vacuum and pump
   hassufcient“primingwater”:
i. Re-check strainer housing cover and all
threaded connections for suction leaks.
Check if all system hose clamps are tight.
ii. Check voltage to ensure that the motor is
rotating at full RPM’s.
iii. Open housing cover and check for clogging
or obstruction in suction. Check impeller for
debris.
iv. Remove and replace shaft seal only if it is
leaking.
E. Low Flow – Generally, Check For:
1. Clogged or restricted strainer or suction line.
Solution:Contactaqualiedrepairprofessional.
2. Undersized pool piping.
Solution: Correct piping size.
3. Pluggedorrestricteddischargelineoflter,valve
partially closed (high gauge reading).
Solution: Sand Filters: backwash as per
manufacturer’s instructions; D.E. Filters: backwash
as per manufacturer’s instructions; Cartridge Flters:
clean or replace cartridge.
4. Air leak in suction (bubbles issuing from return
 ttings).
Solution: Re-tighten suction and discharge
 connections using Teon tape. Inspect other
 plumbingconnectionsandtightenasrequired.
5. Plugged, restricted, or damaged impeller.
Solution: Replace including new seal assembly.
F. Noisy Pump – Check For:
1. Air leak in suction piping, cavitations caused by
restricted or undersized suction line or leak at any
joint, low water level in pool, and unrestricted
discharge return lines.
Solution: Correct suction condition or throttle
return lines, if practical. Holding hand over return
 ttingwillsometimesprovethispointorputtingina
 smallereyeballtting.
2. Vibration due to improper mounting.
Solution: Mount the pump on a level surface and
 securethepumptotheequipmentpad.
3. Foreign matter in pump housing. Loose stones/
debris hitting impeller could be cause.
Solution: Clean the pump housing.
4. Motor bearings noisy from normal wear, rust,
overheating, or concentration of chemicals causing
seal damage which will allow chlorinated water
to seep into bearings, wiping out the grease and
causing bearing to whine.
Solution: All seal leaks should be replaced at once.

General Maintenance
1. Clean strainer basket regularly. Do NOT strike
basket to clean. Inspect strainer cover gasket
regularly and replace as necessary.
2. Pumps have self-lubricating motor bearings and
shaft seals. No lubrication is necessary.
3. Keep motor clean. Ensure air vents are free from
obstruction to avoid damage. Do NOT use water
to hose off motor.
4. Occasionally, shaft seals must be replaced, due to
wear or damage.
Storage/Winterization Maintenance
1. Do not purge the system with compressed air. Use only a low
pressure (below 5 psi), high volume blower when air purging
the pump, filter or piping.
2. Allowing the pump to freeze will void the warranty.
3. Use ONLY propylene glycol as antifreeze in your pool/spa system.
4. Drain all water from pump and piping when expecting
freezing temperatures or when storing pump for a long time.
5. Keep motor dry and covered during storage. To avoid
condensation/corrosion problems, do NOT cover or wrap
pump with plastic film or bags.
