Disconnect all power before working on this
equipment.
These instructions present general recommendations for
installation, operation and maintenance of induction motors
built at the Norwood plant. If additional information is

Warranty
See your sales contract for warranty coverage.
Documentation of storage maintenance, alignment
and regreasing may be required for certain warranty
considerations.
Receiving
Motors are shipped in first class condition. They have been
inspected and are skidded to prevent damage from ordinary
handling during shipment.
Inspect new motors for shipping invoice. Make the
examination before removing from cars or trucks. If damage
or indication of rough handling is evident, file a claim with
the carrier at once, and notify your Siemens sales
representative.
Remove only the shipping invoice. Do not remove tags
pertaining to lubrication, operation and storage instructions.
Read and follow all instructions to insure that no damage to
motor bearings, (due to condensation) and motor windings
occurs during storage.
Use care in handling. Dropping the motor or otherwise
imposing shock loads can cause unseen and undetected
damage to bearings. This damage such as false brinelling
of the races of anti-friction bearings can result in early
bearing failure.
If supplied, energize space heaters to help prevent
condensation within the motor enclosure.
Motors having oil lubricated bearings are shipped WITHOUT
OIL in the bearing reservoir. These bearings and journal
surfaces are protected during shipment by a TEMPORARY
film of rust inhibiting oil.
Immediately upon receiving a unit with oil lubricated
bearings:
1. Check for moisture accumulation. Remove any traces
of oxidation before putting the motor in service.
2. Fill bearing reservoirs to normal level with a non-
foaming, non-detergent turbine oil (See Maintenance
Section).
3. Rotate the shaft several turns, by hand, to distribute the
oil over bearing parts.
