4.2 Mounting the Motor
- Identify a secure and stable mounting location on your vehicle frame. Ensure adequate clearance for the motor, chain, and any associated components.
- Use appropriate bolts and fasteners to firmly attach the motor to the frame. Avoid over-tightening, which can strip threads or damage the motor casing.
- Ensure the motor is aligned correctly with the driven wheel's sprocket to prevent chain misalignment and excessive wear.

4.3 Electrical Connections
The MY1020 is a brushless DC motor and requires a compatible brushless motor controller (not included with the motor unit). Refer to your controller's manual for specific wiring instructions.
- Connect the three phase wires from the motor to the corresponding phase terminals on your brushless controller.
- Connect the Hall sensor wires (typically a smaller connector with multiple wires) from the motor to the Hall sensor input on the controller.
- Ensure all connections are insulated to prevent short circuits.
- Connect the main power leads from your battery pack (72V recommended, 48-72V compatible) to the controller's power input.
5. Operating Instructions
Once the motor is correctly installed and wired with a compatible controller and power source, follow these general operating guidelines:
- Pre-Operation Check: Before each use, inspect all connections, the chain, and mounting points to ensure they are secure.
- Power On: Activate the power supply to your controller. The motor should remain stationary until throttle input is applied.
- Throttle Control: Gradually apply throttle to initiate motor rotation. Avoid sudden, full-throttle inputs, especially from a standstill, as this can stress the motor and controller.
- Monitoring: During operation, listen for unusual noises and observe for excessive heat. If any anomalies occur, cease operation immediately and troubleshoot.
- Power Off: After use, ensure the throttle is released and then turn off the main power supply to the controller and motor.
