CORRECTIVE ACTION
Replace shorted devices or the control board.
Repair or replace the motor.
Replace the control board.
Check shunt field current.a Low shunt field current causes excessive armature current. If field current is adequate, check for a mechani cal overload. If the unloaded motor shaft does not rotate freely, check motor bearings. Also check for a shorted motor armature. Motor overload can also be caused by incorrect gear ratio. Correct accordingly.
Check all terminals, connections, and wiring between the line, controller, and motor.
Repair or replace the motor.
Replace faulty devices or the control board.
Replace the control board.
Turn the MIN SPD potentiometer counter clockwise.
Correct ground fault.
Replace the control board.
Turn the MAX SPD potentiometer counter clockwise.
Refer to Steps 4 and 5 on page 5.
Check the motor shunt field and associated circuitry for a loose connection or a broken wire. Repair accordingly.
Replace the motor.
