General InformationImportant: These instructions must be followed to ensure safe and
proper installation, operation and maintenance of the
motor. They should be brought to the attention of all
persons who install, operate or maintain this equipment.
Motors are all fully factory tested and inspected before shipping.
Damage during shipment and storage can occur. Motors not correctly
matched to the power supply and/or the load will not operate
properly. These instructions are intended as a guide to identify and
eliminate these problems before they are overlooked or cause further
damage.
Acceptance
Check carefully for any damage that may have occurred in transit. If
any damage or shortage is discovered, do not accept until an
appropriate notation on the freight bill is made. Any damage
discovered after receipt of equipment should be immediately reported
to the carrier.

Storage
1. Keep motors clean.
•Store indoors.
•Keep covered to eliminate airborne dust and dirt.
•Cover openings for ventilation, conduit connections, etc.to
prevent entry of rodents, snakes, birds, and insects, etc.
2. Keep motors dry.
•Store in a dry area indoors.
•Temperature swings should be minimal to guard against
condensation.
•Space heaters are recommended to prevent condensation.
•Treat unpainted flanges, shafts, and fittings with a rust
inhibitor.
•Check insulation resistance before putting motor into service.
(Consult manufacturer for guidelines).
3. Keep Bearings Lubricated.
•Once per month, rotate shaft several turns to distribute grease
in bearings.
•If unit has been stored more than one year, add grease before
start-up. (Refer to
“Lubrication Procedures” on page 9).
InstallationUncrating and Inspection
After uncrating, check for any damage which may have been incurred
in handling. The motor shaft should turn freely by hand. Repair or
replace any loose or broken parts before attempting to use the motor.
Check to be sure that motor has not been exposed to dirt, grit, or
excessive moisture in shipment or storage before installation.
Measure insulation resistance (see
dry the windings as required. Never start a motor which has been wet
without having it thoroughly dried.
Safety
Motors should be installed, protected and fused in accordance with
latest issue of National Electrical Code, NEMA Standard Publication
No. MG 2 and local codes.
Eyebolts or lifting lugs are intended for lifting the motor only. These
lifting provisions should never be used when lifting or handling the
motor with other equipment (i.e. pumps, gear boxes, fans or other
driven equipment) as a single unit. Be sure the eyebolt is fully
threaded and tight in its mounting hole.
Eyebolt lifting capacity ratings is based on a lifting alignment
coincident with the eyebolt centerline. Eyebolt capacity reduces as
deviation from this alignment increases. See NEMA MG 2.
Frames and accessories of motors should be grounded in accordance
with National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 430. For general
information of grounding refer to NEC Article 250. Rotating parts
such as pulleys, couplings, external fans, and shaft extensions should
be permanently guarded.

Location
In selecting a location for the motor, consideration should be given to
environment and ventilation. A motor with the proper enclosure for
the expected operating condition should be selected. The ambient
temperature of the air surrounding the motor should not exceed 40˚C
(104˚F) unless the motor has been specially designed for high
ambient temperature applications. The free flow of air around the
motor should not be obstructed.
The motor should never be placed in a room with a hazardous
process, or where flammable gases or combustible material may be
present, unless it is specifically designed for this type of service.
1. Dripproof (open) motors are intended for use indoors where
atmosphere is relatively clean, dry and non-corrosive.
2. Totally enclosed motors may be installed where dirt, moisture
and corrosion are present, or in outdoor locations.
3. Explosion proof motors are built for use in hazardous locations as
indicated by Underwriters’ label on motor. Consult UL, NEC,
and local codes for guidance. Refer to manufacturer for
application assistance.
Floor Mounting
Motors should be provided with a firm, rigid foundation, with the
plane of four mounting pads flat within 0.25 mm (0.010 in.) for 56 to
210 frame; 0.38 mm (0.015 in.) from 250 through 500 frame. This
may be accomplished by shims under the motor feet. For special
isolation mounting, contact manufacturer for assistance.
V-Belt Drive
1. Select proper type and number of belts and sheaves. Excessive
belt load will damage bearings. Sheaves should be in accordance
to NEMA Spec. MG-1 or as approved by the manufacturer for a
specific application.
2. Align sheaves carefully to avoid axial thrust on motor bearing.
The drive sheave on the motor should be positioned toward the
motor so it is as close as possible to the bearing.(104˚F) unless
the motor.
3. When adjusting belt tension, make sure the motor is secured by
all mounting bolts before tightening belts.
4. Adjust belt tension to belt manufacturers recommendations.
Excessive tension will decrease bearing life.

Direct Connected Drive
Flexible or solid shaft couplings must be properly aligned for
satisfactory operation. On flexible couplings, the clearance between
the ends of the shafts should be in accordance with the coupling
manufacturer’s recommendations or NEMA standards for end play
and limited travel in coupling.
MISALIGNMENT and RUN-OUT between direct connected shafts
will cause increased bearing loads and vibration even when the
connection is made by means of a flexible coupling. Excessive
misalignment will decrease bearing life. Proper alignment, per the
specifications of the coupling being used, is critical.
Some large motors are furnished with roller bearings. Roller bearings
should not be used for direct drive.
Electrical Connections
ATTENTION: Install and ground per local and national
codes. Consult qualified personnel with questions or if
!
repairs are required.
ATTENTION: To guard against personal injury and/or
machine damage, assure that the following guidelines are
!
followed:
•Disconnect power before working on motor or driven
equipment.
•Motors with automatic thermal protectors will
automatically restart when the protector temperature
drops sufficiently. Do not use motors with automatic
thermal protectors in applications where automatic
restart will be hazardous to personnel or equipment.
•Motors with manual thermal protectors may start
unexpectedly after protector trips. If manual protector
trips, disconnect motor from power line. After
protector cools (five minutes or more) it can be reset
and power may be applied to motor.
•Discharge all capacitors before servicing motor.
•Keep hands and clothing away from moving parts.
•Never attempt to measure the temperature rise of a
motor by touch. Temperature rise must be measured
by thermometer, resistance, imbedded detector, or
thermocouple.
•Electrical repairs should be performed by trained and
qualified personnel only.
•Failure to follow instructions and safe electrical
procedures could result in serious injury or death.
•Ensure that safety guards are in use (if required).
