TECO Instruction Manual 

 

  

 

Squirrel Cage Induction Motors 

 

 

 

 

Whilst Motors are installed awaiting commissioning they must be adequately 

protected against the elements, all external components in particular the shaft 

extension and external labyrinth seals at the drive end must be fully covered 

to avoid water ingress entering the motor body whilst stationery. 

Please ensure that both the non drive end and drive end antifriction bearings 

are fully purged with sufficient grease at first start up/commissioning 

with the recommended grade and quantity of grease.
