Electric Code requirements of Class II, Division II, Group G (TEFC motors, NEMA 4 
enclosures) apply. 
 
 
The cleaners with their respective motors, motor controllers and operator variable control 
panels have been factory tested and adjusted. No further adjustment of the DC motor 
controller should be required at the installation site. The installer should refer to wiring 
drawing (TEFC) for wiring (shown in dashed lines) and power requirements (disconnects, 
motor starter/relay. All field wiring and electrical components must adhere to the NEC

pickup leads must not be combined with high voltage power wiring in common 
conduits. Movement of factory installed electrical components can affect warranty.
