Another thread about my Rdgid TS2424... I knocked one of the black
covers off the outside of the motor housing. There are 2 of them about
4 inches long- not sure what they are covering, knowing nothing about
motors. Capacitors maybe? One of them has 2 black wires attached to 2
terminals on the (capacitor?) and there are 2 empty terminals. The
other one I knocked off and there are 4 available terminals and 3
wires to attach- 2 white wires and 1 brown. Does it matter which
terminals they attach to?

Also- which terminals do the black and white wires in the power cord
attach to?

Help!!??

It is interesting to know that Ridgid is using a capacitor start
capacitor
run motor.
Yes indeed those two boxes house capacitors. One is used only during
startup while the
other is permanently connected.
Assuming your motor is wired for 110, the white wire in the cord is
cold,
and the black wire is hot.
You need to consult the fine owners manual to determine how to connect
the
wires. Doesn't the motor
label show how to connect the wires?
Jim

Doesn't show the power cord wires, or what's under those covers on the
outside of the motor housing. that's the problem.

Here's the breakdown of the 110 wiring:

Terminal 1 is a single post. Occupied
Terminal 2 is 3 posts. None occupied
Terminal 3 is 3 posts. 1 occupied
Terminal 4 is 3 posts. 1 occupied.

I assume the black wire in the power cord goes on the unoccupied
Terminal 2? Then what about the white wire?

Hook it up like the label shows. Leave the capacitors alone; they are
connected in series with the secondary field coil. The centrifugal switch
disconnects the start capacitor after the motor gets going. The other
capacitor and the secondary field coil are always energized.
