I have a Dayton 1HP single phase 120/230V motor that is connected to a hydraulic pump and reservoir. It is one of those "All-In-One" units that Grainger sells. There are 6 wires inside of the box on the motor, labeled T1,2,3, etc. The motor can run on 120V or 230V electricity. I don't fully understand the wiring diagram on the side of the motor. The picture is below:

I don't understand what the term "Line" is supposed to mean. I am pretty sure that I need one hot wire and one ground wire. Is one Line hot, while the other Line ground? I would imagine that switching each line would simply reverse the polarity. The "Hi Volts", or 230V shows two hot wires as "Lines". 120V can't have two hot wires, so what does each line in the "Lo Volts" mean?

I can't find Dayton's website, or any info on this specific motor.

Line refers to your incoming power wether it be a "hot" and nuetral for 115VAC or two hots for 230 volts.

The dayton number begining with the 9 indicates its an OEM motor part, they usually dont give you the option to reverse the motor with an OEM like this. Switching your two lines will not reverse your polarity, as the diagram indicates you would have to switch leads 5 & 8. Make sure your direction is right.

Hopefully that answers your question, if you have any more let me know.

Thanks for the reply! The motor is now running. I only ran it for a second because the pump is dry. Thanks for your help.
