Default 50 HZ motor ?

The question is, can this pump be run at 240v 60Hz, without
the magic smoke leaking out.

I'm going to sell it, so I don't want to blow it up.


Probably, but try it. Run it for an hour or so & see. Knowing what an
honorable seller you are, I know that you will be upfront about the 50
Hz & 220v ratings, so you want to be able to tell your buyer that you
ran it on 240 60Hz without problems.


And don't panic when you hear the racket
the thing will make. It's normal. They
are irritating as hell.
