| NOTE | |
|
|
| ||
|
| Current style electric motors run relatively hot under normal operating | ||
|
| conditions, with reasonable compressor loading. This condition is normal | ||
|
| and no adjustment is necessary. | ||
|
| Under normal operating conditions, the motor amperage draw will not | ||
|
| exceed the nameplate amperage rating, plus the service factor, as it appears | ||
|
| on the electric motor. If a condition of sustained high amperage exists, refer | ||
|
| to service checks above and/or consult electrician. If cause cannot be isolated | ||
|
| by an electrician, consult with Service Center for additional assistance. | ||
