Re: Advices on FP Motor

In 2003 we used the FP's and their transmissions (with addition 5:1 reduction) to operate a very heavy 7 ' arm (~40 pounds) and we're fairly successful, but when practicing we kept smelling something awful - our FP's were smoking but not tripping the breakers - we put two muffin fans on each motor - and never smelled again!!!
