CHECKING THE MOTOR
The motor has a manual reset overload protector. If the motor overheats, for any reason, the
overload protector will shut off the motor. The motor must be allowed to cool down before
restarting.
If the overload protector shuts the motor off frequently, check for a possible voltage problem.
Low voltage can also cause the following problems:
→
The motor does not get up to full power or speed.
→
Fuses blow out when starting the motor, lights dim and remain dimmed when motor is
started and is running.
