Danger
Hazardous voltage will cause death, serious injury, electrocution.
All electrical work must be performed by an authorised electrician in
compliance with local electrical equipment standards & internal wiring codes.
After waterproofing the joint connecting the submersible motor cable and supply cable, check if
direction of rotation of the motor shaft matches the direction marked on the visible cable box
top face
The direction of rotation is counter-clockwise when viewed from the motor shaft end as marked
on the cable box
Connect free ends of the cable to control panel and energize the motor for a second or two
For added protection, continuously pour clean water over the sand guard to remove heat
generated
Check the direction of rotation of the motor shaft
If the direction of rotation is in the same direction as that marked on the cable box face, the
connections are correct
In case the direction of rotation of the motor shaft does not match the marking on the cable box,
interchange any two lead wires at the control panel and confirm as before
The tripod with chain block is erected
Unpack the submersible pump and remove the cable guard and strainer
