2. Switch on the voltage. Start the compressor and stop it immediately. Check the rotation direction of
drive motor (M1) while the motor is coasting to a stop. The correct rotation direction of the drive
motor is indicated by an arrow shown on the motor fan cowl.
If the rotation direction of the drive motor is incorrect, open the isolating switch and reverse two
incoming electric lines.
Incorrect rotation direction of the drive motor may cause damage to the compressor.
3. Check also the rotation direction of the fan motor. Rotation arrows, visible through the grating in the
roof, are provided on the plate below the fan to indicate the correct rotation direction of the fan motor.
If the rotation direction of the fan motor is incorrect, open the isolating switch and reverse two
incoming electric connections at the terminals of circuit breaker (Q15).
