All motorized Scott Aerator products use high-quality motors. Our three-wire motors (our 2 hp and 3 hp models) require the use of control boxes (see the options box). Operation of motors without control boxes or with incorrect boxes can result in motor failure and voids the warranty. Control boxes contain starting capacitors, a starting relay, and, in some sizes, overload protectors, running capacitors, and contactors. The control box and and motor are two pieces of one assembly — since a motor is designed to operate with a control box from the same manufacturer, we can promise warranty coverage only when a control box is used with a matching manufacturer’s motor.
By default, the motors come with only the motor lead (18") but lengths of power cord are available as an additional option.
Three-phase, 50Hz, and larger motors are available, just ask!
