Clarke CL 500 switch

[roger mason 2Participant @rogermason2]

I have a Clarke CL 500 on which the Forward /Reverse switch was broken. I carefully tagged all the wires (6 of them) then bought a switch from RS. Perfect-or so I thought. When I went into the workshop all the tags had come unstuck so Im back to square one. Grrrr!

Can anyone send me a wiring diagram or better a photo of the rear of the switch showing where the wires go ( Yes I know-I should have done that but I thought the tags were a brilliant idea.)

the nearest I have found is this :-

figure 17 on page 21 shows a low resolution diagram

do  two of the wires have short wires crimped on to make the diagonal connections to the switch ???

if you test the continuity between the 4 wires from the motor

I would expect you will find two wires   (V1 V2 )  have continuity and they need to be wired across the middle 2 switch terminals

 

the other  two wires (U1 U2)  motor wires will go to the start winding that's in series with a capacitor

and will connect directly to the mains supply from the NV release switch

where are you?

got one in a box here.

will try digging it out but it's from the cl430 which is lathe only

Hi i used this lathe mill sometime ago, the manual which you can down load from clarkes, or they send you one by email…has a wiring diagram, since i replaced the motor and switch as whole; the switch reverses the motor rotation /direction. I have a picture of the inside of the switch if you need…. in case i had trouble wiring!…..post a update how you get on, or let me know.

The trouble is that so many of the wires are black…

I've broken the box around my one, but don't want to remove the outer casing for that very reason.

Regards

Richard.

Despite all the help so far Im still struggling. A good picture of the back of the reversing switch and the wires from the on off /stop switch might help. I know there are a lot of black wires but if I can see where they come from and go to then I may have a clue.
