How to bench test a Leeson motor

[Jim Brenyo]

Hello, all. I'm struggling with how to wire a Leeson 120v reversible electric motor so that I can bench test it and verify that it works. I've attached a copy of the wiring diagram from the side of the motor to this thread. I plan on bench testing it WITHOUT using a switch....just a 120v hot (black), neutral (white) and ground (green). I know that the green ground wire from the source goes to the blue wire in the motor harness but I am unclear on how to attach the others. Your expertise is greatly appreciated.

Hi Jim, the T5 and T8 wires need to be paralleled with the other two pairs, then power is applied to the two pairs of 3 wires each
Swap T5 and T8 to reverse
For example T1, T3, T5 is one power wire
T2, T4, T8 is the other
