Installation & Capacitor Guide
- Capacitor Note: Run capacitor is required for operation but not included in the box.
- Required Ratings: Always match the capacitor microfarad rating to the specific horsepower tap selected during installation (typically requires a 10 MFD or 12.5 MFD / 370V–440V dual or single run capacitor).
- Wiring Instructions: Ensure all unselected horsepower speed taps are safely capped off with wire nuts before restoring power.
