WIRING AUTOQUIP "SUPER TORQUE' MOTORS

Because Autoquip "Super-Torque" motors actually deliver substantially more
horsepower than their nameplate rating, they must always be wired for heavier current-
draw than standard motors of the same nameplate rating. However, because of the
starting efficiency and superior running characteristics of the "Super-Torque" motor,
circuit components do not have to be as large as for standard motors of equal delivered
horsepower.

The following chart should be referenced in connecting these motors to power sources,
remembering that, where 115-Volt operation is contemplated, the current-draw is too
heavy for plugging into ordinary lighting circuits. Heavy wire must be used all the way to
the power-source.
