Power Tech 15KW Motor & Blower

[Kurt Horvath]

Hisham,

It's easy just click on files on the left side of this page. When the
window opens on the right side down a few inches you'll see add file,
click on it. That will open to File name. hit the browse button then
choose what file you want to upload, for example you could place the
info in a word file. You can add a description, and notify the group
if you wish.

The number from Graingers, "3M957 1/3 HP 230 V" has been
discontinued. It has some cross refrenced motors, so I would make a
note of that.
