CAUTION: Replacement compressors are charged with oil at the factory. Care should be exercized
when replacing a compressor to avoid spilling any oil.
Rotary compressor hold down nuts must be torqued to 50 in/lbs to prevent loosening.
The motor for the Rotary compressor is a Permanent Split Capacitor (PSC ) motor with Start and Run windings. A
capacitor is wired in series with the Start winding. When power is applied, the capacitor assists in bringing the compressor
motor to optimum speed.
The motor for the Reciprocating compressor is a Split Phase. This compressor has a Start and Run winding, with a
current activated relay or PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) relay. When power is applied to the Run winding (on
models with current relay), the high starting current pulls the relay armature up, closing contacts, and completing the
circuit to the Start winding. The motor starts and accelerates to a point where the current is reduced enough to allow
the relay to drop out and disconnect the circuit to the Start winding. This point occurs at about 80% of full speed. The
motor continues to accelerate to full speed on the Run winding alone. On models with PTC relay, current is applied to
both windings at the same time. This starts the compressor. As current flows through the relay to the Start winding, the
relay will increase in resistance . Within a fraction of a second, the resistance will climb high enough for the Start
winding to drop out.
The Dehumidifier power cord is equipped with a three prong grounding plug. It must be plugged directly into a
properly grounded three prong receptacle. The receptacle must be installed in accordance with local codes and
ordinances. A power cord about 6 feet long permits locating a unit suitably in most homes without the use of an
extension cord. An extension cord can become a shock hazard if it rests on a damp floor or if water spills on it. Do not
use an extension cord or an adapter plug.

Electrical Information
The Dehumidifier must be plugged into a 115 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only electrical outlet. The circuit should be protected by
a 15 Amp circuit breaker or 15 amp time-delay type fuse.
CAUTION: If voltage varies by ±10% of 115 volts, performance of the Dehumidifier may be affected.
Operating the Dehumidifier with insufficient power can damage the compressor.
