WITH LOW RPM.
1. Long period of operation.
2. Insuffi cient battery.
3. Electrical cables from
battery to speed reducer
too small.
4. Bad electrical connections.
5. Insuffi cient charging system.
1. Cooling-off periods are essen-
tial to prevent over-heating.
2. Check battery terminal volt
age under load. If 10 volts or
less, replace or parallel another
battery to it at motor terminal.
3. Must be #2 Ga. Wire for
distances up to 15 feet from
battery to speed reducer. Use
