Tecumseh Products Company compressors have labels and markings with important informa-
tion. For your safety and the safety of others, read the labels and markings on the product.

Serial Label Information

The only source for complete compressor information is on the compressor serial label. On earlier
compressors, the serial plate is usually spot-welded on the upper housing of the compressor. For
current compressors, the serial label is affixed in the same location. Both describe the character-
istics of the compressor.
The months are identified in Table 2-1.
