Thank you...I will be sure to wire in a relay asap after we're past testing phase.
Another question: bought my motor from Princess Auto, it was listed as reversible...however, I'm not quite sure it is...under the two power leads (I know reversing these won't change the direction), there appear to be two paddle connectors, one with a red wire, the other with a white...should switching these do it, or should I be seeing more wires? I tried to locate the motor on the manufacturer's website, and the closest one I could see listed as "non reversible"...here's the side panel.
