NOTE
Current style electric motors run relatively hot under normal operating
conditions, with reasonable compressor loading. This condition is normal
and no adjustment is necessary.
Under normal operating conditions, the motor amperage draw will not
exceed the nameplate amperage rating, plus the service factor, as it appears
on the electric motor. If a condition of sustained high amperage exists, refer
to service checks above and/or consult electrician. If cause cannot be isolated
by an electrician, consult with Service Center for additional assistance.
