High voltage and rotating parts can cause serious or fatal injuries.

Installation, operation and maintenance of electric machinery should be performed by qualified personnel. Familiarization with NEMA Publication MG-2, Safety Standard for Construction and Guide for Selection, Installation and Use of Electric Motors and Generators, the National Electrical Code and sound local practices is recommended.

For equipment covered by this instruction book, it is important to observe precautions to protect personnel from possible injury. Among the many considerations, personnel should be instructed to:

•Avoid contact with energized circuits or rotating parts.

•Avoid bypassing or rendering inoperative any safeguards or protection devices.

•Avoid use of automatic-reset thermal protection where unexpected starting of equipment might be hazardous to personnel.

•Avoid contact with capacitors until safe discharge procedures have been followed.

•Be sure the shaft key is fully captive before the motor is energized.

•Avoid extended exposure in close proximity with high noise levels.

•Use proper care and procedures in handling, lifting, installing, operating and maintaining the equipment.

•The motor should be lifted by the lugs provided. Do not lift anything but the motor with the motor lifting means.

Safe maintenance practices by qualified personnel are imperative. Before starting maintenance procedures, be positive that:

•Equipment connected to the shaft will not cause mechanical rotation.

•Main machine windings and all accessory devices associated with the work area are disconnected from electrical power sources.

If a high potential insulation test is required, procedures and precautions outlined in NEMA Standard MG-1 and MG-2 should be followed.

Failure to properly ground the frame of this machine can cause serious injury to personnel or death. Grounding should be in accordance with the National Electrical Code and consistent with sound local practice.

These instructions do not purport to cover all of the details or variations in equipment nor to provide for every possible contingency to be met in connection with installation, operation, or maintenance. Should further information be desired or should particular problems arise which are not covered sufficiently for the purchaser's purposes, the matter should be referred to the General Electric Company.
