The shaft extension of a non-reducer motor should turn freely by hand, but do not attempt to turn the shaft extension of a reducer motor. CONNECTIONS-STARTING - Be sure the circuit on which this motor is to be used is of the proper voltage and cycle as shown on the name plate. This motor will not operate on direct current. Oil the motor (See Lubrication). The capacitor must be connected across the black and red leads. Line connection is made to the blue lead and either side of the capacitor depending on the direction of rotation desired. CONDENSER START AND RUN MOTOR 3-WIRE REVERSIBLE / Inscribed in pencil on side 1 of tag 2: Motor Loaned to L.R. Martin 12-23-47 / Printed in black on side 2 of tag 2: The motor should start as soon as it is properly connected. If it does not, open the circuit and carefully inspect the apparatus to be driven to be sure it is free running and properly oiled. IN CASE OF TROUBLE - See that all wires are filmly connected, that the current goes thru the capaitor on thru all three leads and that there are no blown fuses in the circuit. If unable to correct the trouble, write the company from whom the apparatus or motor was purchased, describing the trouble fully, giving ALL the information contained on the name plate of motor and on the capacitor. OIL AND GREASE LUBRICATION - Before starting motor add a few drops of the oil supplied with the motorthrough each of the motor holes. Re-oil in same manner. Never disassemble reducer motor for regreasing gears. The addition of oil as specified will keep the original grease in good condition. Sleeve Bearing motors operating continuously should be re-oiled each month. Continuous duty Ball Bearing motors and Sleeve Bearing motors used intermittenly, require re-oiling only once or twice a year. Be sure to use oil furnished with the motor or a recommended substitute. Additional oil may be purchased from the Bodine Electric Company, Chicago, in half pint cans at $0.60 each list. CAUTION - Do not hang a dead weight of of more than 6 ounces on the output shaft of the motor. Do not use a belt drive with reducer unit. Do not pry gears or coupling off the reducer shaft. If any fitting cannot be readily removed, hold the fitting and drive the reducer shaft out of it.
