use a 30-amp speed control for the Power 450
and a 40-amp speed control for the Power 480.
1. Attach the X-mount to the motor using the
screws provided with the motor. Use a #1 Phillips
screwdriver to tighten the screws after placing a
drop of threadlock on each screw to prevent it from
vibrating loose.
