General safety information
During operation, motors have live or moving parts. Therefore, removal of electrical or mechanical guards, improper
use, or inadequate maintenance may cause serious damage to persons or property.
Installation, Maintenance, Adjustment and Replacement operations of components must be carried out by qualified
personnel, using proper tools and working instruments. It is necessary to read carefully these instructions to ensure the
proper use under safe conditions of the M.G.M. motor. The personnel in contact with the motor must always use the
proper personal means of protection established by the regulations in force in the country of destination.
Installation, Maintenance, Adjustment and Replacement operations of components must be carried out having
previously verified that the motor or plant is disconnected from the supply line and that there is no voltage left on
board terminals.
Avoid contact with the motor case since the temperature under normal operating conditions may exceed 50°C.
In case of ineffective braking or during maintenance or replacement operations of components, check that no load is
applied to the driveshaft.
Receipt and Storage
When receiving the motor, it is essential to check that all the characteristics shown on the motor nameplate correspond
to those requested, and that the motor has not been damaged during transportation. Any damage must be pointed out
to the carrier immediately.
The eyebolts are designed to bear the weight of the motor alone and therefore no additional loads should be added.
Check that the eyebolts are undamaged before lifting. Ensure that proper lifting equipment is used and that the sizes of
the hooks are suitable for the lifting eyes. If necessary, use suitable rated transport materials such as lifting straps.
Motors must be stored in a sheltered, dry and dust-free place. case of prolonged storage a special anti-corrosion
treatment must be carried out on all those unprotected surfaces of the motors like flanges, shaft ends etc.
The motor packaging material can be hazardous. It must be immediately disposed according to the national standard in
order to prevent not authorized personnel to handle (i.e. children).
Installation
Installation operations must be carried out by qualified personnel, using proper tools and working instruments.
Before starting the installation, be sure that the motor expected characteristics match the ones shown on the motor
nameplate, with special care to the motor voltage supply and to the brake torque. Be sure that the braking torque
provided by the brake assembly is suitable for the intended application.
BAH series does not include motors suitable for hazardous. Misapplication of a motor in a hazardous environment can
cause fire or explosions and hence resulting in serious injuries.
Please verify that the brake type is suitable for the application and complies with standards or regulations in force on
the machine on which the motor will be incorporated. Verify that the intended application does require a motor of
the -K or -PK series (eg. lifting, safety applications, cranes and so on). For further details pls contact MGM motori
