On my troubleshooting chart it says if your dc motor runs too fast its probably that you made improper connections. What do they mean by improper connections?

It usually means that there is more than one wiring config. and you have not made the correct connections for the voltage/torque operational mode you are using.

A usual config is for 90/180 VDC motor opertion to have a jumper or multiple taps that must be wired for opertion at one voltage or another.

putting 90 volts on a motor wired for 180 volt operation would be one example of mis-wiring that could cause your problems. Check the manual closely and be sure all of the needed connections are present.
