| Ventillation |
Adequate
ventillation must be provide. The area below the pump should be dry and
free of debris. |
|
Motor
should not be installed in direct sunlight or in temperatures above 104
degrees (F). Compensation should be allowed for higher temperatures, by
using a larger horsepower than what is on the nameplate. |
| Moisture |
Keep
area below and around pump dry and free of debris. Mount motor a level to
avoid flooding of the motor |
|
|
| Altitude |
Altitudes
in excess of 3,300 feet above sea level will cause a motor to operate at
higher than normal temperatures. To compensate for this replace the motor,
with the next higher available Horsepower. |
|
|
| Grounding |
Safety is the utmost
concern. Grounding of the pump to the ground is essential. This should
be done in accordance with local building codes. Example: Ground the motor
using the ground connection inside(usually green)the motor housing (terminal
block). Bonding of the motor, should also be done using A # 10 wire. This
is located on the outside of the motor.

To Minimizew
excessive voltage drop during startup. Make sure wirig is adewuate. Inadequate
wiring will cause overheating and pre-mature failure of motors |
