the run:
• Speed can be decreased or increased, not to exceed the maximum
rated rotor speed.
• Temperature can be decreased or increased.
• Time can be changed from a specified time period to continuous,
or a continuous run can be changed to a timed run.
• Run duration of a timed run can be shortened or extended.
