SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
TO AVOID SERIOUS OR FATAL PERSONAL INJURY
OR MAJOR PROPERTY DAMAGE, READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IN MANUAL AND
ON PUMP.
THIS MANUAL IS INTENDED TO ASSIST IN THE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION OF THIS UNIT AND
MUST BE KEPT WITH THE PUMP.
This is a SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL.
When you see this symbol on the pump or
in the manual, look for one of the following signal words and be alert to the
potential for personal injury or property
damage.
Warns of hazards that WILL cause serious
personal injury, death or major property
damage.

the National Electrical Code (NEC), or the Canadian
Electrical Code, as well as all local, state and provincial
codes. Code questions should be directed to your local
electrical inspector. Failure to follow electrical codes and
OSHA safety standards may result in personal injury or
equipment damage. Failure to follow manufacturer’s
installation instructions may result in electrical shock, fire
hazard, personal injury or death, damaged equipment,
provide unsatisfactory performance, and may void manufacturer’s warranty.

CentriPro motors are not designed for use
in swimming pools, open bodies of water,
hazardous liquids, or where flammable gases exist. Well
must be vented per local codes.
Disconnect and lockout electrical power
before installing or servicing any electrical
equipment. Many mtors are equipped with automatic
thermal overload protection which may allow an overheated motor to restart unexpectedly.
All three phase (3Ø) controls for sub-
mersible motors must provide Class 10,
quick-trip, overload protection.
Do not lift, carry or hang motor by the
electrical cables. Damage to the Electrical Cables can cause shock, burns or death.
Use only stranded copper wire to pump/
motor and ground. The ground wire
must be at least as large as the power supply wires. Wires
should be color coded for ease of maintenance and
troubleshooting.
Install wire and ground according to the
National Electrical Code (NEC), or the
Canadian Electrical Code, as well as all local, state and
provincial codes.
Install an all leg disconnect switch where
required by code.
The electrical supply voltage and phase
must match all equipment requirements.
Incorrect voltage or phase can cause fire, motor and
control damage, and voids the warranty.
All splices must be waterproof. If using
splice kits follow manufacturer’s instructions.
Select the correct type and NEMA grade
junction box for the application and
location. The junction box must insure dry, safe wiring
connections.
Failure to permanently ground the pump,
motor and controls before connecting to
power can cause shock, burns or death.
4" motors ≥ 2 HP require a minimum
flow rate of .25 ft/sec. or 7.62 cm/sec. past
the motor for proper motor cooling. The following are
the minimum flows in GPM per well diameter required
for cooling: 1.2 GPM/4", 7 GPM/5", 13 GPM/6", 20
GPM/7", 30 GPM/8" or 50 GPM in a 10" well. Pumps
≥ 2 HP installed in large tanks should be installed in a
flow inducer sleeve to create the needed cooling flow or
velocity past the motor.
All motors require a minimum 5'
submergence for proper refill check valve
operation.
This motor has been evaluated for use
with Water Only.

Splicing Wire to Motor Leads
When the drop cable must be spliced or connected to the
motor lead it is necessary that the splice be watertight.
The splice can be done with heat shrink kits or waterproof
tape.
A. Heat Shrink Splice Instructions
To use a typical heat shrink kit: strip ½" from the motor wires and drop cable wires, it is best to stagger the
splices. Place the heat shrink tubes on the wires. Place
the crimps on the wires and crimp the ends. Slide the
heat shrink tubes over the crimps and heat from the
center outward. The sealant and adhesive will ooze
out the ends when the tube shrinks. The tube, crimps,
sealant, and adhesive create a very strong, watertight
seal.
B. Taped Splice Instructions
A) Strip individual conductor of insulation only as far
as necessary to provide room for a stake type connector. Tubular connectors of the staked type are
preferred. If connector O.D. is not as large as cable
insulation, build-up with rubber electrical
tape.
B) Tape individual joints with rubber electrical tape,
using two layers; the first extending two inches
beyond each end of the conductor insulation end,
the second layer two inches beyond the ends of the
first layer. Wrap tightly, eliminating air spaces as
much as possible.
C) Tape over the rubber electrical tape with #33
Scotch electrical tape, or equivalent, using two
layers as in step "B" and making each layer overlap the end of the preceding layer by at least two
inches.
In the case of a cable with three conductors encased in a
single outer sheath, tape individual conductors as described, staggering joints.
Total thickness of tape should be no less than the thickness
of the conductor insulation.

Verify Voltage and Turn Supply Power Off
Insure that your motor voltage and power supply voltage
are the same.
Place the circuit breaker or disconnect switch in the OFF
position to prevent accidentally starting the pump before
you are ready.
Three-phase starter coils are very voltage sensitive; always
verify actual supply voltage with a voltmeter.
High or low voltage, greater than ±10%, will damage motors and controls and is not covered under warranty.
