What do we do with the motor wiring? - Why does our brushless motor have 6 wires?

The motor came with 2 cables for each phase - 1 labeled ‘HI’ and the other labeled ‘LO’. Each of the cables if I recall correctly were 12AWG - which seems to me a little undersized for 40A, but it should be fine?

Keep reading if you want, but go check out the link - it has all the correct info.

The Motor Documentation page has graphs for both ‘HIGH’ and ‘LO’ settings, so I’m trying to discover what to do here. It seems as if there might separate current paths or something to get the higher speed/torque combinations.
