Turned on Central AC with the outside compressor on! OH no!

OOps! My Wife turned on the Central AC for the first time this
season.
Unfortunately, the winter cover was still on the outside compressor.
When I noticed that the AC was on, (about 5 minutes or so), I ran
outside to see if the cover was still on. It was, and the fan was not
running - the unit seemed pretty hot.

I was hoping there was some sort of thermal protection on the unit
(Lennox HS26-060-2P)
but it has not started up since (been a few days).
Does anyone know if there is a separte circuit breaker inside the
unit? I checked all the circuit breakers in my main House panel.
Thanks for any help.
