Need help with motor wiring

[dvo]

This 120v motor can rotated in either direction via a rotary drum switch but unfortunately is not with the machine anymore. I'm getting old and can't decipher what this motor plate is telling me. Can someone please explain on how to connect the wires?

not 100% sure, but if that is a 110V motor only and it is bi-directional rotation.. The diagram will be for rotation.

Usually Z is impedance means there is a Inductance / capacitance / resistance in line, so Z is most likely your start/run coil. where all the goodie run/start caps are connected to.

not sure about U might be the motor winding.

Don't remember who uses that notation, a real motor guy will be able to tell you.

usually reverse the start/run coil will reverse the motor in these 1ph induction motors... so you'll have to find out which one it is or wait for some one that is familiar with the Notation UVW Z ... stuff.

Is there another Tag on that Motor?
That diagram looks like wire connections for 120 or 240 volt operation?
More Info would help

I would test by it using the diagram on the name plate Z1 to U1 to L1(110V Hot) and Z2 to U2 to L2(neutral). Do a bump test for each configuration and see if the rotation changes. Do you have the capacitors maybe something li my this

It looks like The nameplate only lists 110v.

The diagram worked!! I will save and print this out for future reference.....I'm not getting any younger.

Thanks ycgoat

Awesome but keep an eye on it for the first few minutes just in case
