electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
ELECTRICAL RATING: The serial rating plate indicates the
voltage and frequency the unit is designed for.
Due to possible variations in line voltage (caused by overloading of circuits), it is advisable to install a dedicated circuit
from the meter panel. This will help to eliminate current fl uctuation which might cause motor trouble.
