FWIW, I would caution against increasing voltage to solve a stall that is accompanied by a warm motor. A higher voltage may help the motor overpower excessive friction or imbalance, but will also put more current through the motor, resulting in more heat and a potential burn-out. Both, a? warm motor and stall messages indicate the worm/gear mesh being too tight, or mount not being balanced. I'd solve these mechanical problems, first, before increasing supply voltage.

I understand this, but there is a gray area I am in here, a cause and effect inversion of sorts. I was surprised this happened because I adjust my spring frequently, just for practice's sake. I even have some Jet Lube MP-50 on the way. If the extra voltage could prevent it from stalling in the first place, the motor may not get a chance to overheat. On the other hand, I don't really want to have the extra power supply connected if I don't have to. Isn't the motor supposed to get shut off when there is stalling??
