Installation for the TacoGenie on a dedicated Return System

Taco Genie Includes

IMPORTANT

Operation of the TacoGenie without being plumbed into water lines may damage the pump and void the warranty.

WARNING: In the event the retaining screws have been pulled out of the housing, DO NOT replace them. Use of any other screw may short out the stator windings, creating a risk of electrical shock.
WARNING: To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the power supply to the circulator and the main electrical unit
CAUTION: When installing electrical connections, do not apply mechanical loads to the electrical box; otherwise, retaining screws may be pulled out of the housing, making circulator unusable.

Pump Position:

Pump should always be installed in a horizontal position with TacoGenie capacitor box facing up toward the ceiling and arrowing pointing in the direction of flow.

RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION

NOTE:
If starter button will not be used, be sure to use electrical tape or wire nuts to isolate the leads on the gray wire.

For motion sensor operation, the Taco #554-4 hard-wired motion sensor starter kit (sold separately) can be installed.

Wireless Remote Reciever Kit #554-7 and additional Transmitter buttons 554-8 are also available.
