If you encounter issues with your Schellenberg tubular motor, consider the following:

• Difficulty in Installation: Some users have reported that the adapters can be tight when inserting into the octagonal shaft. Ensure proper alignment and apply gentle, even pressure. Do not force components, as this may cause damage.
• Overheating Protection: The motor includes thermal/overheating protection. If the motor stops unexpectedly during operation, it may be due to overheating. Allow it to cool down before attempting further operation.
