TROUBLESHOOTING

Manual Reset Button on Pump Motors, Conveyor Motor and Blower-Dryer Motor

In case any motor becomes overheated, the thermal overload will cause the motor to not operate. A manual reset button is provided on the junction box for each motor. To restart after the motor is allowed to cool, press the manual reset button on the motor junction box (Fig. 39). If motor(s) continue to trip, contact Hobart service.
