The manual reset-type used for the blower motor can be reset by pushing the red button located on top of the circuit breaker. If the overload which caused the circuit breaker to open is still present in the circuit, then the circuit breaker will open again and the red button will pop out. The overload must be removed from the circuit before proceeding.
