Problem: Motor takes too long to accelerate.
Like Causes: What to Do:
Defective capacitor. Test capacitor per previous instructions.
Faulty stationary switch. Inspect switch contacts and connections. Verify that switch reeds have some spring in them.
Bad bearings. Noisy or rough feeling bearings should be replaced.
Voltage too low. Make sure that the voltage is within 10% of the motor’s nameplate rating. If not, contact power company or check if some other equipment is taking power away from the motor. (Courtesty of Leeson Motors Corporation)
