Why won't the motor in my pool pump not run?

Why won't the motor in my pool pump not run? I bought a brand new Sta-Rite SuperMax 1.5 HP pool pump. It is 1.5 hp and wired for 240. I have made sure I have power to the pump and wired the motor according to the wire diagram, power to L1 and L2 and ground wire hooked up. The pump will not run at all, no noise what so ever. Any suggestions?

Use a multimeter and test your electrical outlet to make sure you have FULL 240 power to the outlet. Check each lead. Each hot lead should carry 110 to 140 volts when tested to the ground. What country are you in?

Use a multimeter and examine your electrical outlet to make sure you have FULL 240 power to the outlet. Also, Secure that you have a 240-volt line going to the swimming pool pump
