Motor Control
It is your responsibility to contact a qualified
electrician and assure that the electrical installation is
adequate and in conformance with all national and
local codes and ordinances.
Select fuses, motor protective switches or thermal
protective switches to provide protection. Fuses act as
short circuit protection for the motor, not as protection
against overload. Incoming line fuses must be able to
withstand the motor’s starting current. Motor starters with
thermal magnetic overload or circuit breakers protect
motor from overload or reduced voltage conditions. If
additional information is required, please consult your
Gast Distributor/Representative.
The wiring diagram supplied with the product provides
required electrical information. Check that power source
is correct to properly operate the dual-voltage motors.
Your safety and the safety of others
is extremely important.
We have provided many important safety messages
in this manual and on your product. Always read
and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol
alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and
others. The safety alert symbol and the words
“DANGER” and “WARNING” will precede all safety
messages. These words mean:
You will be killed or seriously injured if you don’t
follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t
follow instructions.
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you
how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you
what can happen if the safety instructions are not
followed.
Correct installation is your responsibility. Make sure
you have the proper installation conditions and that
installation clearances do not block air flow.
Blocking air flow over the product in any way can
cause the product to overheat.
