These pages are accurate at the time of printing. In the constant effort to improve, however, we may make changes to the electrical systems of future machines. Study this section carefully. If you see differences between your machine and what is shown in this section, call Technical Support at (360) 734-1540 for assistance BEFORE making any changes to the wiring on your machine.

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 limited to severe burns, electrocution, or death. Disconnect the power from

the machine before servicing electrical components!

2.Wire Connections: All connections must be tight to prevent wires from loosening during machine operation. Double-check all wires disconnected or connected during any wiring task to ensure tight connections.

3.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.

4.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.

5.Circuit Requirements: You MUST follow the requirements at the beginning of this manual when connecting your machine to a power source.

6.Capacitors/Inverters: Some capacitors and power inverters store an electrical charge for up to 10 minutes after being disconnected from the power source. To reduce the risk of being shocked, wait at least this long before working on capacitors.

7.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 components before completing the task.

8.Experiencing Difﬁculties: If you are experiencing difﬁculties understanding the information included in this section, contact our Technical Support at (360) 734-1540.
