[PLUG-TALK] Motor capacitor

Looking to find a suitable replacement motor capacitor.  The motor is
on a chipper (3450 RPM).  I would guess that it is a RUN capacitor but
am not sure. It is about 1.5 inches in diameter and 8 inches long.
The label information is listed below.  Can anybody here shed some
light on this?  Can you tell from the label information that it is
indeed a RUN capacitor? (Significant $ difference over a START cap.)
If the label does not answer the question, how else might I find out?
It looks very difficult to take the motor apart to look for a
centrifugal switch.

Label:
BOSCH
0 670 311 620  MP
40 microFarads  +/- 10%
240V~DB  60 Hz
-25/+70 C  HSFNT
FZ 5
1029
BS 5627  Made in Germany   550 - 8

There are also three symbols on the label  One looks like it may
represent a motor.  One is a circle containing a + over the letter S.
One is a triangle containing the letter V over DE.

Knowing some German would likely help.

Thanks,
-Denis
