Most of the information in this document is taken from the Baldor Electric Company Instruction,

Operation, and Maintenance Manual, and provides a means of more accurately determining motor

lubrication requirements based on local conditions.

Inspect, clean, and test motors at regular intervals— approximately every 500 operating hours

or every three months, whichever comes first. Lubricate motors at the intervals determined herein. Keep

accurate maintenance records.

—Keep the exterior of the motor free of dirt, oil,

grease, water, etc. Keep ventilation openings clear. Oily

vapor, paper pulp, textile lint, etc., can accumulate and

block ventilation, causing overheating and early motor

failure.

—Periodically, check the motor and winding

insulation integrity using a “megger.” Record the megger

readings and immediately investigate any significant drop

in insulation resistance. Check all electrical connectors to

be sure they are tight.

—Determine the proper lubrication interval

for your motor as explained in “How to Determine

Lubrication Interval” in this section, and lubricate

accordingly.
