SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS (cont'd)
Motor Overload Protector - Reset
The electric motor has a thermal overload protector (Models
with a magnetic starter will not). If the motor overheats for any
reason, the thermal overload protector will shut off the motor.
The motor must be allowed to cool down before restarting.
If equipped with an ON/AUTO-OFF pressure switch, restart as
follows:
1. Turn the ON/AUTO-OFF switch to the OFF position.
2. Depress the reset button located on the end of the electrical
motor.
3. To restart the motor, turn the ON/AUTO-OFF switch to the
ON/AUTO position.
If not equipped with an ON/AUTO-OFF pressure switch, restart
as follows:
1. Position the fuse disconnect or circuit breaker to the OFF
position.
2. Depress the reset button located on the end of the electrical
motor.
Note
If the thermal overload protector shuts the motor off
frequently, check for possible voltage problems. Low
voltage can also be suspected when:
1. The motor does not get up to full power
or speed.
2. Fuses blow out when starting the motor.
3. Lights dim and remain dim when motor is
started.
Motor Lubrication
Follow the manufacturer's recommendations that are attached
to your motor.
