    Oneida 3hp Dust Gorilla motor wiring help

    This machine is about 4 years old and has been in storage for the past 18 months. I have everything set, except can't figure out where the wires from the motor hook into. I have the remote for the system as well. Can anyone send me a pic of the inside of their switch or let me know? I know the ground goes on the left side with the other green wire, but can't figure out where to put the black and white.

    I just pulled the cover off the switch and it looks like the black wire is on the terminal marked 1L1 on the left and the white wire is attached to 5L3 on the right. Not sure this is what your looking for. If not let me know.

    No I do not have the manual, and the one online doesn't show me anything I can decipher. I also have my power cord wired to the same spots, but when I run the wire from my motor to the same connections, it just stays on as soon as I plug the DC in, but won't turn off using the switch. That's where I'm stuck. Do you also have the remote Keith? I'm think that changes the wiring.

    Yes, I do have the remote. Mine is less than a year old. Don't know if that changes anything. I'm sure Oneida will help you out if you call in the AM.

    Jeremy...I just found the owner's manual for mine. I agree it doesn't help much. My system is about 4 years old. I will go to the shop and pull the cover and see if I can find anything that will help. I'll post back again in a few minutes.

    I, also, have the remote.

    Jeremy,

    I pulled the cover off the control.

    The cable from the motor comes in and immediately above it is a contactor/relay. The black wire goes to terminal 2T1 on the relay and the white wire goes to terminal 6T3 on the relay.

    The terminals are immediately above where the wire comes into the box.

    Of course, the green wire goes to the ground terminal strip.
