Motor is set for 220 volts, just not an electrician so I do not know which wires go where? I have 3 photos.
First is Square D drum switch:
Second is internal wiring for the motor, please verify, but it looks like it is already set for 220 volt operation..
And the last is the plate on the outside of the motor...motor is a Dayton 5K987BA thermally protected motor.
I do understand if you help, I can't hold you responsible for any and all damages I may cause by making the connections myself. The drum switch currently has 6 wires labeled 1-6 respectively. I also have 220 volts to the switch but nothing connected internally at the switch.
So what I am asking is, please advise what numbered wires go to which terminal(s) in the drum switch, including incoming power. Then which wires from the drum switch to which terminals on the motor.
Upon investigation and reading the tag I understand that the motor "MAY" run the opposite direction when first started, and that if that occurs, per the directions I just need to swap red and black leads on the motor. I wish the motor to be reversible thru the drum switch
I had this running on a different motor but that motor had bad bearing so I swapped out for this new motor.
Thanks
Richard
