Description Quantity
Compressor Start Assy ............................ 1

Plastic Tie-Wrap ....................................... 1
Screws ...................................................... 4
Installation Instructions ............................. 1
Start Kits are designed to provide additional starting
torque for air conditioners or heat pumps equipped with
compressors using a permanent split capacitor (PSC)
single phase motor. This type of motor does not require a
start kit under normal operating conditions, but, because
low starting torque is inherent with PSC motors, special
conditions such as low voltage and exceptionally high
operating temperatures, short thermostat cycles, etc.,
can interfere with compressor starting.
• For Single Package Series Air Conditioners and Heat
Pumps use the vertical bracket as shown in Figure 2.
• For Single Package Gas/Electric Models, use the
horizontal bracket as shown in Figure 3.
• For Split System Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps no
bracket is necessary.

1. iMPortANt! Turn the power off to the unit.
2. Decide which application is required for the unit. The
starting relay is position sensitive and is marked UP on
the side of the relay. Make sure the relay is mounted
so that UP faces upward. See Figures 1-3 for proper
relay orientation.
3. Remove the control panel cover.
4. Attach the kit to the designated location in the control
panel with the provided screws. For split system units,
mount capacitor and relay at the designated locations
inside the control panel. Note: This relay may be
equipped with a universal bracket. With a pair of pliers,
break off any portion of the bracket that prevents proper
installation.
5. Attach the compressor start assembly to the proper
bracket using the capacitor strap and provided screws.
Note:
For split system units, omit this step.
6. Connect the bLACK wire (Figure 1) from terMiNAL
5 on the start relay to t2 on the contactor.
7. Connect the reD wire from terMiNAL 2 on the start
relay to the compressor capacitor terminal marked h
(or HERM).
8. Connect the YeLLow wire from one terminal of the
start capacitor to the compressor capacitor terminal
marked C (or COMMON). Note: Terminals 4 & 6 (if
available on your relay) are not used for this application.
