You just might try and check with either Tammy or Bob at Tamco or a knowledgeable counter guy at a paint jobber (not sure how many of those guys are left) about that need for a particular under color before proceeding. Do not assume that putting more of that color on will make it the "right" color you are seeking.....

Another option is to just wire it to full out high speed and install a rheostat controller as your switch.


The motor came in. No documentation was included but I did find it this online.

There are 3 wires (Black, Blue and Yellow).
Looking at the diagram, for High speed only I would wire the Black wire to Neutral,
and the Blue wire Hot (switched or through rheostat).
Yellow wire would not be used.

Is that correct?

That should be correct. Just confirm it with a "test wiring." The units do not come with documentation normally as they are a "replacement" unit.
