START CAPACITOR
A start capacitor has been added to
decrease inrush current and increase
the reliability of the pressure switch.
This eases the load on the switches in
the motor ci rcuit. Rated at 115VAC, 60
Hz.
Note: Odd cycle models use a 240 volt
capacitor.
The start capacitor is attached by rivets.
CAPACITOR KIT (EXPORT
MODELS)
There is available, an accessory
capacitor kit to make installation of a
capacitor easier. This kit consists of
the following items and instructions.
• Clip for capacitor
• Capacitor
• Green No. 17 wire
• Pop rivets
• Moisture shield
POLY PUMP
The poly pump will pump the water out
of the tub to the drai n du ri ng spi n.
The direction of the pump impeller rota-
tion depends on rotational direction of
the motor since the pump is belt driven
from the motor. During agitation the
pump impeller is turning in a clockwise
direction with the water being forced
back into the washbasket. During spin
the impeller turns in the counterclock-
wise direction for pump out.
To Remove the Pump:
1. Disconnect hoses from pump.
2. Tilt washer and remove pump belt.
3. Remove three screws from bottom of
base holding pump to base. The
mounting holes for the pump on the
base frame are slotted for adjust-
ment of the pump belt. Note general
position of pump before removing.
4. Tilt pump and lift through access
hole in base frame.
