B&S #13 universal grinder wiring

Well, I finally got the grinder up and running. Found out that it was already changed from 440 to 220 at some point. I bought an American Rotary RPC and wired it up and all was well until it shut down after about 15 min. run time. Found that a overload relay was hot so I let things cool for a while and re-started the grinder. After a few min. it shut down again, so I called an electrician to have a look. Checked voltages and amps, and found that whoever re-wired it to 220v never changed the heaters to a higher amperage. Seems to be working good now.
