I have a central heating system, with a Y plan layout.

Hi,
No electrician background here, so novice question!

Newman 3 phase induction motor (Bradbury liftmaster MK1) on a four post ramp - . When the ramp is raised it sometimes keeps going - bloke says he can't switch it off by regular switch - has to do it at the main isolator. I haven't been there yet, any ideas?
Think it's called stats -at bottom of main forum page, shows top posters, latest posts etc. I only turned it off to see what would happen - a message flashed up telling me how to turn it back on, but the message only lasted for about 1 second so I couldn't read the complete instruction! Help...
