RISK OF INJURY OR DAMAGE.
Motor may have a manual reset thermal protector. Dis-
connect power before servicing or resetting motor ther-
mal protector. Use caution, motor may be hot. Allow the
motor to cool before resetting the thermal protector.
If the motor thermal protector tripped, correct the is-
sue that caused the motor to overheat (e.g. over motor
rated amperage or locked rotor).
If the motor has a manual reset thermal protector, the
red thermal protector reset button is located on the mo-
tor body, on or near the lead end of the motor. If the
button does not reset, the motor may still be too hot.
Allow the motor to fully cool to reset the thermal pro-
tector, you should feel or hear a click when the thermal
protector resets while pushing the reset button.
