woodworker4421 1 #3 Posted July 24, 2021 the yellow and red will be up and down on the lift correct? so if i jump either of those wires it should work in that position correct 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,391 #4 Posted July 24, 2021 When yellow has power the red is grounded to make the motor run one way. When the red has power and the yellow is grounded the motor runs the other way. This is accomplished by the double-pull double-throw momentary toggle switch. Garry You have to jump both the red and the yellow. Power to one and ground to the other. Reverse the connections and it should run the other way. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
