GROUNDING THE MOTOR
Ground the pump permanently using a wire of size and
type specified by local or National Electrical Code.
1. Connect ground wire first. Connect the ground first,
then to green grounding terminal provided under
motor canopy (see Figure 5) identified as GRD. Make
ground connection to this terminal. Do not connect
motor to electrical power supply until unit is perma-
nently grounded; otherwise serious or fatal electrical
shock hazard may be caused.
2. For best ground connection, connect to a grounded
lead in the service panel or to a metal underground
water pipe or well casing at least 10 ft. long. If plastic
pipe or insulated fittings are used, run ground wire
directly to the metal well casing or use ground elec-
trode furnished by the power company.
