Wiring Safety Instructions

1.SHOCK HAZARD. Working on wiring that is connected to a power source is extremely dangerous. Touching electrified parts will result in personal injury including but not lim- ited to severe burns, electrocution, or death. Disconnect the power from the machine before servicing electrical components!

2.QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. Due to the inherent hazards of electricity, only a quali- fied electrician should perform wiring tasks on this machine. If you are not a quali- fied electrician, get help from one before attempting any kind of wiring job.

3.WIRE CONNECTIONS. All connections must be tight to prevent wires from loosen- ing during machine operation. Double-check all wires disconnected or connected during any wiring task to ensure tight connections.

4.WIRE/COMPONENT DAMAGE. Damaged wires or components increase the risk of serious personal injury, fire, or machine damage. If you notice that any wires or components are damaged while performing a wiring task, replace those wires or compo- nents before completing the task.

5.MODIFICATIONS. Using aftermarket parts or modifying the wiring beyond what is shown in the diagram may lead to unpredictable results, including serious injury or fire.

6.MOTOR WIRING. The motor wiring shown in these diagrams is current at the time of printing, but it may not match your machine. Always use the wiring diagram inside the motor junction box.

7.CAPACITORS. Some capacitors store an electrical charge for up to five minutes after being disconnected from the power source. To avoid being shocked, wait at least this long before working on capacitors.

8.CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS. You MUST fol- low the requirements on Page 12 when con- necting your machine to a power source.

9.EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If you are experiencing difficulties understanding the information included in this section, contact our Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.
