STA-RITE C Series - Wiring; Priming the Pump

Installation / Maintenance 5
Wiring
NOTICE: For 575 volt installations, see motor nameplate. Consult a
licensed electrician for wiring information. Installation must meet code.
For 200, 230, and 460 volt installations, check fusing/wiring data chart
(Table I, below) before connecting pump to power source.
Check that voltage/frequency on motor nameplate are identical with volt-
age/frequency of incoming power supply.
NOTICE: Wire dual voltage motors correctly according to wiring diagram
on motor.
Check rotation of motor. Look through opening in adapter. Rotation
should be clockwise when viewed from the motor end. If not:
•Turn pump OFF and disconnect from power source.
• For three-phase motors, reverse any two leads to motor starter.
• For single phase motors, re-connect according to wiring diagram on
motor.
Priming the Pump
NOTICE: NEVER run pump dry. To run pump dry may damage seals.
To Prime:
1. If pump is installed below liquid source level, open gate valve in suc-
tion line and flood suction.
2. If pump is not installed below liquid source level, fill pump through a
tee installed in pump discharge and fitted with a priming plug in the
upright position.
Tighten priming plug securely after priming!

*A Fusetron is recommended instead of a fuse in any motor circuit.
IMPORTANT: BE SURE lead wire opening on end of
motor is fully sealed when conduit or a pressure switch
is not used. Failure to seal it properly will allow dirt, rain,
bugs, etc. to enter back compartment of motor through
conduit opening and cause switch malfunction.
