MOTOR SWITCH SETTINGS
Dual-voltage motors (motors that can operate at either
115 or 230 volts), are set at the factory to 230 volts. Do
not change motor voltage setting if line voltage is 230
volts, or if you have a single voltage motor.
NOTE: Never wire a 115 volt motor to a 230 volt line.
REMOVE MOTOR END COVER
If you have a dual-voltage motor, and will connect it to
115 volts, follow the procedure below.
