Lift and rotate the motor to remove the black
and red wire connectors at the bottom of the
motor.
Lift the motor out of the cabinet with the
speed increaser attached.
TECH TIP: When replacing a complete
motor for a wiring or a bearing issue not
related to the speed increaser, it would be
prudent to remove and keep the speed
increaser assembly for future repair needs.
This could save the expense of replacing
another motor if a speed increaser fails.
TECH TIP: The Centrifugal switch has
a color coded indicator to assist in wire
connections for the motor. Exercise care in
positioning of all motor wires including the 2
wires from the broken belt switch.
