Electrical 8
Disconnect power before working on pump, motor, pressure switch, or wiring.
Figure 12: Motor wiring connections through Pressure Switch. Match motor voltage to line voltage.
Your Motor Terminal Board (under the motor end cover)
and Pressure Switch look like one of those shown below.
Convert to 115 Volts as shown. Do not change motor
wiring if line voltage is 230 Volts or if you have a single
voltage motor. Con nect power supply as shown for your
type of switch and your supply voltage.

Clamp the power cable to prevent strain
on the terminal screws.
Connect the green (or bare copper) ground wire
to the green ground screw.
Motor wires connect here.

Power supply wires connect here.
230 Volt: Connect 2 hot wires (black and red)
here and cap the white (neutral) wire. It does
not matter which wire goes to which screw.
115 Volt: Connect one hot wire (black or red)
to one of these screws (it doesn't matter
which one). Connect the white (neutral) wire
to the other screw. Cap any remaining
black or red wires.

Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or
kill. Connect ground wire before connecting power sup-
ply wires. Use the wire size (including the ground wire)
specified in the wiring chart. If possible, connect the
pump to a separate branch circuit with no other appli-
ances on it.
Explosion hazard. Do not ground to a gas
supply line.
WIRING CONNECTIONS
Fire hazard. Incorrect voltage can cause a
fire or seriously damage the motor and voids the warran-
ty. The supply voltage must be within ±10% of the motor
nameplate voltage.
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-
pliance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) 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.
