Small DC Motors
Receiving and Handling
Acceptance
Unpack motor carefully and inspect for possible damage during shipment.
Check packing materials and save any instruction tags or wiring diagrams
found in the carton. Report any damages or shortages immediately to the
local transportation agent.
Installation
Mounting
Check nameplate data on motor before installing to assure the correct rating
and that the available power supply agrees with the required motor power
supply. Motor should be mounted on a firm foundation. If the foundation is
not flat, use shims to prevent misalignment when tightening hold-down
bolts. DC motors arc equipped with ball bearings and may be operated in
any position. For any position other than base down, new drain holes should
be provided so that condensation is allowed to run off. Location should be
dry, clean and well ventilated for most satisfactory service. Be sure the
possibility of oil seepage into the motor is prevented. Commutator end of
the motor should be accessible so that brushes can be conveniently
inspected.
Mounting Instructions for 56C & 140TC Face Mounted Motors
Before mounting a “C” face motor to a mating flange, be sure both surfaces
and all mounting holes are smooth and free of debris.
When mounting into a quill type reducer, make sure the input and output
shafts are coated with an anti-seize compound suitable for the application.

ATTENTION: High voltage and rotating parts can cause serious
or fatal injury. The use of electric machinery, like all other
utilization of concentrated power and rotating equipment, can be
hazardous. Installation, operation, and maintenance of electric
machinery should be performed by qualified personnel.
Familiarization with NEMA safety standards, national electrical
code and sound local practices is recommended.
