WARNING
UL Listed motors must only be serviced by UL Approved Authorized
Baldor Service Centers if these motors are to be returned to a hazardous
and/or explosive atmosphere.
General Inspection:
Inspect the motor at regular intervals, approximately every 500 hours of operation or
every 3 months, whichever occurs first. Keep the motor clean and the ventilation
openings clear. The following steps should be performed at each inspection:
(1) Check that the motor is clean. Check that the interior and exterior of the motor
is free of dirt, oil, grease, water, etc. Oily vapor, paper pulp, textile lint, etc. can
accumulate and block motor ventilation. If the motor is not properly ventilated,
overheating can occur and cause early motor failure.
(2) Use a “Megger” periodically to ensure that the integrity of the winding
insulation has been maintained. Record the Megger readings. Immediately
investigate any significant drop in insulation resistance.
(3) Check all electrical connectors to be sure that they are tight.
Do not touch electrical connections before you first ensure that power has been
disconnected. Electrical shock can cause serious for fatal injury. Only qualified
personnel should attempt the installation, operation and maintenance of this
equipment.
