2.0 QUICK START INSTRUCTION
When power is applied to the VGreen Evo™ motor for the first time it will
automatically run the programmed default schedule. This feature ensures that the
VGreen Evo motor will re-start in the event of a power outage.
Refer to section 4.5 Schedule Set Mode - to view the default operating schedule,
or to set the VGreen Evo at one of the other operating schedules.
3.0 WIRING
SHOCK HAZARD
The VGreen Evo motor must be wired according to the locally adopted version of
the NEC. A licensed, qualified electrician should complete the wiring for this
product. The motor is designed to operate with 230/115 VAC single phase power,
and is equipped with auto-voltage detection.
The VGreen Evo motor is designed to handle a direct wire connection, the wire
insulation should be stripped to a length of approximately 0.33". The terminal
block is capable of handling solid or stranded wire up to 12 AWG in size. The
screw for the mains connections should be properly tightened to a torque value
of 10 in-lb.

NOTE: To confirm the newly set schedule, the motor will automatically go
into Schedule Check Mode. Refer to section 4.4 for more information on
Schedule Check Mode. If at any time the motor does not enter Schedule
Check Mode after inputting the desired schedule, repeat the steps above.
Automatic exiting of Schedule Set Mode:
45 Seconds
Once you have the dip switches in the proper position, the user can then
select which of the 8 pre-programmed operating schedules they would like the
VGreen Evo™ motor to run in by entering Schedule Set Mode.

15
NOTE: The motor start time begins when power is initially applied to the
motor. If the user changes the schedule and does not cycle power to the
motor, the start time of the new schedule will remain the same as the
previous schedule.
5.0 PRIMING
The VGreen Evo™ motor will always run the priming sequence when starting
from the stopped position, except when a schedule is selected that does not
include a priming sequence. The prime setting is 3450 RPM for 3 minutes.
6.0 FREEZE PROTECTION
In the event that the outside air temperature drops below 39°F, the VGreen Evo
motor will automatically turn on and circulate the pool water. The Freeze
Protection will run according to the following conditions (utilizing the factory
default settings):
Freeze Protection Turn On Temperature = 39°F
Freeze Protection Duration = 1 Hour
Freeze Protection Speed = 1725 RPM
Once this one hour period has elapsed, the VGreen Evo motor will check the
ambient temperature again. If the temperature is still below the set threshold,
the VGreen Evo motor will run for an additional 1 hour.
If the temperature is above the threshold, the VGreen Evo motor will
automatically return to the 24-hour based schedule.
7.0 CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The VGreen Evo motor is both reliable and robust in harsh environments.
However, general care and maintenance should be followed to ensure optimum
reliability of this product. It is recommended to always a install a new mechanical
shaft seal when installing a new replacement motor, and follow these monthly
care and maintenance steps.
1. Check for leaks and low water levels – Inspect equipment and plumbing
for water leaks around the equipment pad. A water or air leak may be
present if:
• Moisture is present around the base of the pump
• Water is leaking from any plumbing or other equipment
• Air bubbles are present in the pump basket or pool returns
Contact a qualified pool service professional to repair any leaks and prevent
your pump running dry which could lead to water damage and bearing failure.
2. Clear debris and ensure proper ventilation – Clean the fan inlet on the back
of the VGreen Evo motor and keep the surrounding area free of large debris
such as leaves, branches, mulch, plastic bags, chemical storage, etc.

16
3. Clear pump basket and impeller – Regularly clear pump basket and impeller
to ensure proper operation of pump filtration system.
4. Clean/Backwash filter – Regularly clean/backwash filter to ensure proper
operation of pump and filtration system.
8.0 FAULT STATUS, MANUAL RESTART AND POWER OUTAGES
The table below illustrates possible faults that can occur with the VGreen Evo™
motor. If the VGreen Evo motor does not restart automatically disconnect power
to the motor for approximately 3 minutes, then reapply power to the motor. If
this does not correct the situation, contact your local Pool Service Professional.
In the event of a power outage or if power is cycled, the motor will start
operating at hour one of the previously set schedule.
For example, when installed with a mechanical time clock the off/on trippers will
restart the schedule daily when the on tripper applies power. If you wish to
operate at another schedule or reset the current schedule, refer to section 4.5
Schedule Set Mode.
