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 serious
damage to motor and voids warranty. If in doubt con-
sult a licensed electrician.
Use wire size specified in Wiring Chart (Table II,
Page 7). If possible, connect pump to a separate
branch circuit with no other appliances on it.

2. Make sure that the voltage, frequency and phase (sin-
gle phase) of the power supply agree with that
stamped on the motor nameplate. If in doubt, check
with the power company.
NOTICE: Dual voltage motors are factory wired for 230
volts. If necessary, reconnect the motor for 115 volts, as
shown. Do not alter the wiring in single voltage motors.
Install, ground, wire, and maintain your pump in com-
