CAPACITOR START COMPRESSORS
Follow Split Phase procedure except for the YELLOW and GREEN
lead connections. These leads are connected to the starting capacitor
as shown-above. The capacitor can be any value and voltage equal to
or greater than the original supplied with the compressor. A 200 MFD
220V capacitor will start most of the compressors in use.
ACCESSORIES
Model 2605 Test Lead Kit provides Four (4) 30 in. heavy duty test
leads with colored insulated clips on each end, a 6 ft. power cord with
male plug on one end and insulated clips on the other, and a 220V
adaptor cord with a female receptacle on one end and insulated clips
on the other.

INSTRUCTIONS
FOR MODEL
2602 QUIK-START
HERMETIC
COMPRESSOR
COMBINATION KIT
(Includes 2601 Quik-Start & 2605
Test Lead Kit)
Model 2602 Quik-Start Combination Kit utilizes a 2601 Quik-Start
to start all single phase compressors up to 5HP—110, 220, or 277
VAC and a 2605 Test Lead Kit for temporarily connecting relays,
capacitors, etc., into a system for test purposes. Read these instructions carefully before using the Quik-Start.
This device is intended for use only by qualified air conditioning
and refrigeration service technicians. Use extreme caution when
using this unit. Make sure the system being tested is disconnected
from power before connecting the Quik-Start. Do not use fuses
rated higher than 30A. Read the safety precautions carefully before
using.
Before using the Quik-Start, check the compressor for grounded
windings. Connect an ohmmeter from the COMMON terminal to
the compressor case. If the ohmmeter shows any reading less than
infinity (open), the compressor is defective and the Quik-Start
should not be used.

Safety Precautions
1. Do not use fuses rated higher than 30A. The use of larger fuses
could endanger the operator and will void the warranty.
2. Disconnect the system being tested from power before using
the Quik-Start.
3. Make all required connections to the compressor and
components before connecting the Quik-Start to power.
4.. Do not touch the compressor case when using the Quik- Start.
5. Do not attempt to use the Quik-Start if the compressor
windings are grounded.
6. When using the 220V adaptor leads from the Model 2605 Test
Lead Kit, do not attach the green ground wire to the
compressor case. Use a proper ground only.
7. Before removing the system wiring and before removing Quik Start leads after testing, discharge capacitors by shorting across
the capacitor terminals with a screw driver or test lead.
Soldering a 15000 ohm 1 watt resistor across the capacitor
terminals will automatically discharge the capacitor without
altering its performance.
COMPRESSOR TERMINAL IDENTIFICATION
3. The remaining unidentified terminal is RUN.
SPLIT PHASE COMPRESSORS
1. Set Quik-Start STARTING switch to the OFF position.
2. Connect the leads as shown above. The GREEN and YELLOW
leads are connected together.
3. Plug in Quik-Start power cord to grounded outlet. For 220V
compressors use adaptor leads from 2605 kit.
4. Push STARTIG switch to START position and hold.
5. Release STARTING switch when compressor starts. The switch
will remain in the RUN position until manually turned to OFF. If
compressor does not start, turn STARTING switch to OFF.
The compressor terminals can be identified by using an ohmmeter
set to OHMS X 1 and measuring the resistance between terminals.
1. Find the two terminals that give the highest resistance reading.
The remaining terminal is COMMON.
2. Find the two terminals with the lowest resistance. The
remaining terminal is START.
