Voltage conversion
Disconnect machine from power source.
To switch the incoming power leads for 230 volt
operation, follow wiring diagram on inside cover of
motor junction box. A similar diagram is found in
sect. 14.0
of this manual. (Note: In case of
discrepancy, diagram on machine takes
precedence.)
If using an electrical plug, the plug on the end of the
motor cord must be replaced with a UL/CSA listed
plug rated for 240V power.
