PART 1: Wiring without a direction switchIdentify the wire colors and confirm that thegearmotor or motor is a 3-wire reversiblePSC model. Bodine stock motors have red,black, and blue motor leads and a green-yellow ground lead.

Identify the capacitor value to beused with the motor. The capacitorspecifications are shown on thegearmotor/motor nameplate. The capacitoris not labeled with polarities, so theconnection may be made to either wire.

Since the wiring diagram does not specifyAC line lead polarities, the connection maybe made to either side of the AC line (i.e. hotor neutral) (Figures 2 and 3). However, whena switch is used it should interrupt the hot(L) line connection.

Connect the red wire from the motor to theother lead of the capacitor (Figures 4 and 5).

The capacitor must be permanentlywired to the motor leads. Permanent splitcapacitor motors require a capacitor duringstart and while running.

To connect the motor to run clockwise:(see connection diagram 07410072)Connect the black wire from the motor and the hot lead (L) from the AC line cord to onelead of the capacitor.

Connect the other side of the AC line.Connect the blue motor lead to the otherlead of the AC line cord. Again, theconnection may be made to either side (i.e.hot or neutral) (Figure 6).

To complete wiring, connect the green-yellow ground lead to the ground wire in theAC line cord (Figure 7).

To connect the motor to runcounterclockwise: (see connection

Connect the black wire from themotor to the other lead of the capacitor. Theside of the AC line connected to the bluemotor lead and the ground connection willremain unchanged.

PART 2: Wiring with a reversing switch(Wiring with a Single Pole, Double ThrowSwitch with Center-Off Position)Optional switch: Carling single pole,

double throw toggle switch, with center- 

off position, rated for 15A; part number

2FC53-73-TABS (purchased from DigiKey) 

Connection diagram 07410072 shows how

 to wire an optional switch to reverse thedirection of the gearmotor. It uses a singlepole, double throw switch, with a center-offposition.

This guide uses a single pole, double throw

switch with quick connect tab connectors,a model 1025 Bodine gearmotor, a model49401112 capacitor, and an AC line cord(not shown in above picture) (Figure 1).

Connect the black motor lead to onelead of the capacitor. The capacitoris not labeled with polarities, so theconnection may be made to either wire.Next, connect to the “throw” end of thesingle pole, double throw switch. The“throw ends” are normally the outer

 terminals of the switch (Figure 2).

Connect the red motor lead to the otherlead of the capacitor. Next, connect to the other “throw” end of the switch (i.e. the other outer terminal) (Figure 3).

Connect one hot (L) side of the AC line to the “pole” terminal of the switch.

This is usually the middle terminal.While the wiring diagram does notspecify AC line lead polarities, whenno switch is used, the connection of the switch should be made to the hotAC Line (L) (not neutral) (Figure 4).

Proceed to connect the blue motor lead to the other side of the AC line. To completewiring, connect the motor’s green-yellowground lead to the ground on the AC line. Now the direction of the gearmotor/motorcan be reversed with the single pole, double

 throw switch, with a center-off position.

The purpose of the center-off position

is to bring the motor to a complete stopbefore reversing its direction. Below areinstructions on how to implement thisdiagram.
