any adjustments arise that are not described in this manual, you need replacement parts, or you are unsure
of how to perform the procedures in this section, then feel free to call our Technical Support line.
Symptom
Motor will not start.
Motor will not start; fuses or circuit break-
ers blow.
Motor fails to develop full power (output
of motor decreases rapidly with decrease
in voltage at motor terminals).
Motor overheats.
Motor stalls (resulting in blown fuses or
tripped circuit).
Drums run backwards (G0450 only).
Machine slows when sanding, making a
squealing noise, especially on start-up.

ances, and other motors.
2. Undersized wires or circuits too long.
3. General overloading of power company
facilities.

2. Inspect all lead connections on motor
for loose or open connections.
3. Replace start capacitor.
1. Repair or replace cord or plug for dam-
aged insulation and shorted wires.
1. Reduce load on power line.
2. Increase wire sizes or reduce length of
the circuit.
3. Request a power check from the power
company.
1. Reduce load on motor.
2. Clean off motor to provide normal air
circulation.
1. Repair or replace connections on motor
for loose or shorted terminals or worn
insulation.
2. Correct the low voltage conditions.
3. Install correct fuses or circuit breakers.
4. Reduce load on motor.
1. Switch two of the current carrying wires
at the main power block (G0450 only).
1. Tighten V-belts (Page 30).
2. Replace V-belts (Page 31).
1. Inspect keys and setscrews. Replace
or tighten if necessary.
2. Adjust fan cover mounting position,
tighten fan, or shim fan cover.
3. Replace V-belts (Page 31).
1. Tighten drum pillow bearings.
2. Replace drum pillow bearings.
