Installation Notes
Turn off power and lock out the circuit before servicing. Remove the pump housing and old motor, disconnect wiring and note original connections. Mount the new B2748 motor to the pump housing using square-flange bolts, align shaft, connect wiring per nameplate, restore power and verify correct rotation and current draw. Monitor initial operation for vibration, noise or excessive amps.
Maintenance Tip
At each seasonal service interval inspect bearings for noise, shaft seal for leaks, and verify current remains within specification. Replace the motor if you observe sustained overheating, abnormal noise or failure to reach full pump flow—keeping the drive system reliable and your pool healthy.
