Pool Pump Wiring

[wrems]

Does anyone have this particular pool pump in operation that can help me with wiring for 115? I can’t find anything online...

The side of this pump has the label nearly washed off. I can’t quite understand how I’m supposed to wire this...Can anyone share a photo of the side of their motor indicating the wiring? Or, a photo of their actual wiring configuration that goes to each terminal on the back of the motor… Where does the yellow wire go?

Link to the motor manufacturers information on that motor.

Thanks! That's the information I was looking for. The one confusing thing is grounding to the house... I don't see the typical green grounding lug... The motor housing has a grounding block but I figured that was for bonding to the pool. The diagram at that URL indicates Ground When Specified... Shouldn't pool pumps be officially grounded? I know technically the neutral is like a ground. Maybe because the breaker is GFI and the housing is bonded that makes up for actual grounding?

The grounding screw is missing in the opening. It goes into the lug in the upper right side of the opening in your picture.

Perfect! Totally overlooked that.
