1 forum posts | I have an old Kitty P/T 636, the machine works well apart from the starter switch which has just packed in. I live in New Zealand so the chance of finding the same switch is remote. It appears to be a no volt release, capacitor start 240 V single phase. any ideas how I might get round this as the machine is to good to scrap. Norm |

However you can just get a NVR switch for the same size motor HP or current consumption and put it in a box. As a TP doesn't run in reverse it makes the wiring easier but if you don't understand electrical things you will have to find a professional. |

1346 forum posts 15 photos | Don't think it needs to be fitted into the machine, any standard NVR switch to suit the HP should be OK.. I had a similar problem with a garden shredder last year, switch was built in, so I just by-passed it and fitted a new switch with its own mounting box. Problem solved ! |

What is the power rating of the motor? https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/250V-Universal-KJD20-2-NVR-Safety-Switch-Emergency-Stop-Saftey-Cut-Off-Killer-To/232472053773?epid=2217195796&hash=item36206a080d:g:AvEAAOSwqAldZQWQ Russell |
