Keith:

As said, the motor must turn counter clockwise looking at the end of the
shaft for it to be self-tightening. If your motor runs the other way...

If the motor has a shaft on each end, use the other end.

If not... some motors are reversible and some are not (at least not
easily). For 120 v single phase motors, you need to reverse the leads
to the start winding. If there is an electrical box on the motor and
the start winding leads go to the box, there should be a diagram inside
the cover showing how to wire it to change directions. If not, it is
likely that the only possible way to do it would be to dismantle the
motor. Depending on what you find, it may or may not be possible. If
your motor is a simple fan motor, you may be out of luck. One solution
would be to rebuild the buffers with left-hand threads.

The directions say to mount the motor so as the shaft is turning
anti-clockwise. Is this possible as every way that i can imagine mounting it
the shaft will still be turning clockwise. I was told it was a two speed
motor. white in the centre to one side and white in the centre to the other
side, are the two different speeds.


Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Hi

I have the beale system with out the motor.
The three buffers are motor mounted so I got a used two speed motor.
Problem is... the buffers keep comming off the shaft. I checked to see if
the direction of the motor was the same as the thread on the buffer screw
and it is and should be self tightening.

Question ? The buffers have a bolt and a screw and nut thru them to keep
the buffer in place. Should I remove the nut, before screwing it on the
adapter shaft?
