3-2. Duty Cycle And Overheating

Duty Cycle is percentage of 10 min- utes that unit can cut at rated load without overheating.

If unit overheats, thermostat(s) opens, output stops, and cooling fan runs. Wait fifteen minutes for unit to cool. Reduce amperage or duty cycle before cutting.

Y Exceeding duty cycle can damage unit and void war- ranty.
