Unit - Check the nameplate located on the housing of the aerator unit to make sure you have received the correct
horsepower and voltage aerator.
Power Control Center - Verify the PCC is compatible with the aerator unit horsepower and voltage. Refer to the electrical
specifications on the nameplate located inside on the door of the PCC.
Power Cable Assembly - Verify the correct cable gauge and length.
