Using this motor start/run capacitor is a breeze. First, make sure the power to the appliance is turned off. Then, carefully remove the old capacitor and connect the new one in the same way. Just follow the wiring diagram if there is one. When handling the capacitor, be careful as it can store an electrical charge even when not connected. Don't touch the terminals directly. For maintenance, keep it in a dry and cool place. Regularly check the connections to make sure they are tight. If you notice any signs of damage like bulging or leaking, replace the capacitor right away.
