AMT 4851-040-70 Capacitor Cover, 115 V
The AMT 4851-040-70 is the genuine capacitor cover for AMT’s 115 volt pumps. Single-phase motors need a capacitor to get started — it creates the phase shift that produces starting torque — and that capacitor sits in a housing on the motor, under this cover.
It is easy to dismiss a cover as cosmetic, and on this part that would be a mistake. The capacitor underneath is a live electrical component with exposed terminals, sitting on a machine that by definition works around water. The cover is what keeps spray, washdown mist, salt-laden air and curious fingers away from those terminals. Run a pump with the cover missing or cracked in a marine or washdown environment and you are asking for a corroded terminal, a tracked-over capacitor, a nuisance trip, or a genuine shock hazard.
A capacitor that fails also tends to fail messily — they can swell, vent or leak — and a properly fitted cover contains that rather than letting it spray across the installation. Replace the cover if it is cracked, distorted, missing its fixings or no longer seating properly. Confirm the part number against your parts breakdown before ordering, and if you have any doubt about the capacitor itself, have it checked by a qualified electrician rather than working on it live.
