Wiring Instructions Risk of Electrical Shock. Improper electrical grounding can result in electrical shock. The wiring should be done by a qualified electrician A qualified electrician needs to knows the following before wiring: 1. The amperage rating of the electrical box should be adequate. Refer to the Specification Chart, in the parts manual, for this information. 2. The supply line should have the same electrical characteristics (voltage, cycle, phase) as the motor. Refer to the motor
