nOTE: There is a legend on the far side of
the motor switch to assist in placement of
the removed wires during reinstallation of
the motor.
6. Lift motor out of the cabinet with 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.
