It would be a disaster. It is terribly important that when the main solenoid makes contact that there is already a path for current BEFORE first speed contact is made. The speed contacts are NOT designed to withstand the initial surge of current in the “take off” mode. This way, when the main contactor makes contact, there is already a path for current flow and all that the speed control does is provide another path and then start to remove resistance as the speed is advanced. If you removed this apparently redundant connection, then the first speed contact would ”fry”, trying to be the path of first contact (surge). If you try it, you will soon be buying a new speed contact board. Good luck, Ron.
