ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS
One of the three types of electrical connections will be supplied with each motor
depending upon application.
• Adapters to lengthen the wires. Plug into existing wiring connector.
• Adapters to change the connector type. Plug into existing wiring connector.
• Butt type connectors. Strip the wires and crimp, then apply heat to seal connector.
NOTE: Do not leave out this step. Failure to apply heat to the shrink type connector will
allow water to enter and corrosion to form. This will result in premature failure of the
wiring.
