Motor
The motor has an automatic reset
thermal 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. The

after the motor cools.
If the overload protector shuts the
motor off frequently, check for a
possible voltage problem. Low
