Hope this helps. These guys look like a (from a circuit-sense) as : AC line -----------*------ switch --| |----- | | Stator Start Coil Coil | | | | AC line -----------*------------------------- The switch is closed when the RPM is low (~75% rated speed). The direction of rotation is determined at power-on. If you disconnect the starter winding, you can manually start a motor in either direction. Better yet, just switch the 'polarity' of the stator winding with respect to the start winding to reverse the direction. To get your motor to run: Connect terminal 2 to AC line. Connect terminal V to terminal 1 Connect terminal 4 to AC neutral Connect terminal 1 to AC neutral To reverse direction, interchange 1 and 3. Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
