Multiquip WM-70S (Steel) WM-70 PLASTER/MORTAR Mixer Electric Motor, Electric Motor Voltage Switch

WM-70 PLASTER/MORTAR MIXER — ELECTRIC MOTOR

The motor supplied is wired for 115 VAC grounded operation. Make certain that the correct size grounded (3-wires) extension cord is used. See Table 6.

Motors can burn out when the line voltage falls 5% below the voltage rating of the motor. Failure to use proper voltage will cause the motor to overheat and actuate the overload switch.

If overload protection should actuate because of improper voltage or any other malfunction, turn the main switch on the motor to the OFF position and correct the problem, press the reset switch button, and turn the main switch to the ON position.
