if your compressor has a reset button its going to be right next to where the power cord goes into the motor , most times there red but not allways , also air compressors use a demand switch as well , there usually is a manual off lever on the side of these , this will interrupt the automatic start feature of the compressor and wont allow it to run , just follow the power plug wire the little "possibly grey " box it comes too is the demand switch

The pump used on your compressor was incorporated into different designs thus needed access to oil fill from one side or the other. Part number for oil plug was std-220 or 27642, but you can use just regular standard pipe thread plug with square head. If the oil plug fits the other hole. Buy plumbing parts at Lowes. Good Luck

I can help you. The motor name plate will give you the connections for the different voltage if it is a 'dual voltage' motor. Check the name plate on the motor.
May I ask why you want to change it. Contrary to popular belief, It won't make it cheaper to run.

pull the cover where the wiring goes into the motor, usually there is a wiring diagram on the underside. If not, go to sears online to see if you can get the manual for it

If the regulator is inline you need de-energize the compressor to remove the regulator.
