I have an older Dayton 1/2HP motor that I want to wire for forward and reverse. I know very little about motors. This one does not have the wire leads marked as I have see in other motors. The motor control switch has a wiring diagram and I need to figure out which leads to connect from my motor to the forward / reverse switch.
From what I understand this is an induction type motor with both sets of leads (4 wire) go into the windings, one pair is a light color and the other pair is a dark color.
I have tried to identify the Dayton motor by it's number without success.
Suggestions?
