5. Setup and Installation
Installation of this pump motor should only be performed by a qualified pool technician or electrician. Improper installation can lead to equipment damage, electrical shock, or fire.
5.1 Pre-Installation Checks
- Ensure the power supply to the existing pump is disconnected at the circuit breaker.
- Verify that the new motor's specifications (voltage, HP, frame type) match the requirements of your existing pump housing.
- Inspect the motor for any shipping damage.
5.2 Voltage Selection
The UST1202 motor is designed for dual voltage operation (115V or 230V). The motor is typically pre-wired for 230V. If your installation requires 115V, the motor wiring must be adjusted accordingly. This adjustment involves changing the position of internal wiring connections, usually located under the capacitor cover. Refer to the wiring diagram on the motor label or consult a qualified electrician for proper voltage conversion.
