Wall Mounting Magnetic Starter
Per Baldor specifications, their 2 pole motors (3600 RPM) motors are to be relubricated
every 5500 hours.
Per Baldor specifications, add .30 ounces (8.4 grams)
of Mobil Polyrex grease by weight or .6 cubic inches
(2 teaspoons) of Mobil polyrex grease by volume.
Fastener
Captive Fastener
Remove front cover.
Attach Starter cover and tighten Captive Fasteners.
Fasten screws through mounting bracket into
mounting surface. (Screw needs to be smaller than
Captive Fastener.)
Clean the grease fitting (or area around grease hole, if equipped with
slotted grease screws). If motor has a purge plug, remove it> Motors
can be re-greased while stopped (at less than 80 degrees C) or run-
ning. Apply grease gun to fitting (or grease hole). Too much grease
or injecting grease too quickly can cause premature bearing failure.
Slowly apply the recommended amount of grease, taking 1 minute or
so to apply. Operate motor for 20 minutes, reinstall purge plug if previ-
ously removed. Caution: keep grease clean. Mixing dissimilar grease is
not recommended.
