The machine is factory wired according to order. If the voltage is to be changed, consult the factory for
instructions and necessary parts.
For standard models the only customer wiring necessary is from the customer supplied disconnect switch
to the compressor unit’s electrical enclosures All wiring should be done by a licensed electrician familiar
with national, state and local electrical codes.
The use of improperly sized wire can result in sluggish operation, unnecessary tripping of overload relays
