Default Treadmill motor wiring diagram, anyone???

Thanks William, very much appreciated. I currently have the Red and
White connected to the Mains switch (both lines switched) and it has a
propensity to start and run CCW.

If it starts from a standstill, it gives a growl for about 1/3 second,
Amps shoot to about 13 then it runs CCW at 7A.

Surprisingly if I load the pulley light to moderately, Amps drop to
about 6.5. If I increase load to high then it goes back up to around 9A
at stall. Beats me but then I don't know much about this stuff.

I will go try the wiring you suggested and I think the following
suggestion will be the right one.

Brown wire - hook to momentary switch
Other side of momentary switch - hook to red wire


Thanks so much again.

Dave
