It's a common misconception that the heavy wires are
for the motor - heaven knows I used to think that...
See: http://www.hy-gain.com/man/pdf/HAM-IV.pdf
Figure 9 (Schematic)
"Terminals 1 and 2 must be connected to the using the
larger gauge wires of the 8-wire cable."
And from the schematic one can see that Term 1 is
ground and Term 2 is the brake.
Sanity check:
If I read this right, the motor has two windings (CW,
CCW) plus ground, so one would require THREE larger
conductors if one wanted to wire the motor
consistently.
