    4 wire treadmill motor ????

    I had a Dc treadmill motor given to me to play with. Already had a controller. It has 4 wires. The red and black go to the controller. What would the 2 blue wires be for.

    It probabally is a tach or feedback device. run the motor with an auto battery and check the two blue leads for DC tach voltage.
