Startup
Motor-Related Checks
•
Obtain an IOM from the motor manufacturer for the specific motor installed. The motor
manufacturer’s recommendations take precedence for all matters related to the start-up and
routine maintenance of the motor.
•
Check the motor lubrication for moisture and rust.
–
Remove and clean grease plugs to inspect.
–
If moisture is present, consult an authorized repair shop for bearing inspection/replacement.
This may require removal and transport of motor.
–
If no moisture is present, refer to the motor manufacturer’s lubrication recommendations for
proper lubrication.
–
The motor manufacturer may recommend lubricating the motor as part of their routine start-
up instructions.
•
Check motor winding. An acceptable winding resistance reading is from 6 meg-ohms to infinity.
If reading is less than 5 mega-ohms, the winding should be dried out in an oven or by a blower.
•
Inspect the entire motor for rust and corrosion.
•
Bump-start the unit and confirm the fan wheel rotates properly, as indicated by the rotation
arrow located on the fan housing.
Note:
For motor warranty needs, contact you local Trane sales office.
