Just a question does it starts easily on its own or do you need to give it help by hand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Bill, Its a 240v single phase DC permanent magnet motor made by NECO - does this help - It always has started on its own and smooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
