Motor Service
1. Protect from heat:
• Shade the motor and controller from the sun.
• Any enclosure must be well ventilated to prevent overheating. Particular attention should be paid to the
motor fan cover and the cooling fins between the drive and the motor.
• Provide ample cross ventilation.
2. Protect against dirt:
• Protect from any foreign matter or splashing water.
• Do not store (or spill) pool chemicals near the motor.
• Avoid sweeping or stirring up dust near the motor while it is operating.
• If a motor has been damaged by dirt it voids the motor warranty.
3. Protect against moisture:
• Protect from splashing pool water.
• Protect from the weather.
• Protect from lawn sprinklers.
• If a motor has become wet - let it dry before operating. Do not allow the pump to operate if it has been
flooded.
• If a motor has been damaged by water it voids the motor warranty.
Note: DO NOT wrap motor and controller with plastic or other air tight materials. The motor and
controller may be covered, but not wrapped in plastic, during a storm, for winter storage, etc., but
never when operating, or expecting operation.
When replacing the motor, be certain that the motor support is correctly positioned to support the size of
motor being installed.
