Wiring
1. Check voltage, phase and hertz
available against motor nameplate for
compatibility.
2. Be sure leads for dual voltage motors
are connected properly.
3. Install power and control wiring to
magnetic starter in accordance with the
National Electric Code and local
requirements.
Coupling Alignment
(if applicable)
Coupling between pump and motor has
been properly aligned at the factory.
However, shipping, rigging and piping of the
system often disturb this, making
realignment necessary.
Check by applying a straight edge across
coupling halves at 90 degrees and 180
degrees. The straight edge should rest
evenly on both coupling havles.
If necessary, shim pump and/or motor to
bring coupling into perfect alignment
horizontally and vertically.
Check pump for free rotation by turning
coupling by hand.
Accessories
Optional accessories should be installed in
accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Preheat kit: If the tank is equipped with a
preheat kit, follow mounting and wiring
instructions included in preheat kit parts box.
