TROUBLE PROBABLE CAUSE REMEDY 1
Motor starts slowly
or fails to come up
to full speed.
1. Low voltage will not
trip relay.
2. Windings burned out
or open.
3. Starting relay not
operating.
1. Request voltage check from the power company.
2. Have motor repaired or replaced.
3. Have relay replaced.
Motor overheats. 1. Motor overloaded.
2. Improper cooling. (Air
circulation restricted
through motor due to
sawdust, accumulating

circulation through motor.
See "Maintenance and Lubrication" section.
Starting relay in
motor will not
operate.
1. Burned relay contacts
(due to extended

1. Starting relay not
operating.
2. Voltage too low to permit
motor to reach operating
speed.
3. Fuses or circuit breakers
do not have sufficient
capacity.
1. Have relay replaced.
2. Request voltage check from the power company.
