d. Connect a separate ground wire to the
driven equipment unless there is solid
metal-to-metal contact between the motor
and the equipment housing.
5. Insulate all unused leads on a motor with
individual leads to avoid the possibility of
electrical shock or motor burnout.
Start-up
1. Replace the terminal box cover (if motor has
one) before reconnecting the power source.
2. Check direction of rotation. Stop motor and
then reconnect as necessary if rotation is not
correct.
3. Check operation of motor to be sure it comes
up to speed, runs smoothly and is not
overloaded.
4. Shut off power immediately if there is a
problem and determine source of trouble
before restarting.
Maintenance
CAUTION: Always disconnect power source
before working on or near a motor or its
connected load.
1. Motor may require periodic cleaning to
prevent the possibility of overheating due to
an accumulation of dust and dirt on the
windings or on the motor exterior.
2. Sleeve-Bearing Motors lubricated for life
require no re-oiling and are constructed
without re-oiling tubing. For motors with re-
oiling tubes or ports, use the following
guidelines.
a. Re-oil annually after the second year of
service to extend bearing life for normal
duty.
b. Re-oil every two years for light
intermittent duty and at least every five
years for light occasional duty.
c. Add 15 to 20 drops of electric motor oil
or an SE grade of SAE 20 non-
detergent, motor oil to each bearing
when re-oiling.
3. Ball bearing motors are factory lubricated
and require no additional lubrication.
Caution
1. If motor gets wet, allow it to dry thoroughly
before using.
2. Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt
how to ground or connect the motor.
3. Any of the following could result in motor
damage or failure and could be interpreted as
abuse or misapplication of the motor and
thus void any warranty that may be
provided.
a. Connection to power source other than
the voltage and frequency specified on
the nameplate.
b. Incorrect connection.
c. Excessive or improper lubrication.
d. Dropping, carrying by the leads or
otherwise mishandling the motor.
e. Insertion of an object into motor.
f. Misapplication or improper use.
g. Improper installation, excessive belt
tension, etc.
h. Failure to insulate unused motor leads.
i. Use of a capacitor different than the
rating specified.
