* For 208 Vac, 60 Hz or 380 Vac, 50 Hz, derate output current by 10%.
** P.F.C. indicates with or without optional power factor correction kit.
*** The input currents listed are for balance control in the "max. clean" (0) position. When balance control is
set in the "max. penetration" (10) position, input current will increase approximately 40%.
**** For 50 Hz models, add 40 lbs (18 kg).
