V 4.1
5 HP Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled Electric Motor

If improper rotation direction is detrimental to the load, check the rotation or
‘bump’ the motor prior to coupling the load to the motor shaft. When the motor
is coupled to the load and started, it should start quickly and run smoothly. If
not, stop the motor immediately and determine the cause. Possible causes are:
low voltage at the motor, motor connections are not correct or the load is too
heavy. Check the motor current after a few minutes of operation and compare
the measured current with the nameplate rating.
THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION
An internal thermal protector disconnects the electrical contacts when the
motor draws too much current and overheats, forcing it to shut down before it
is damaged.
1. Switch the power source off and let the motor cool before attempting a reset.
2. Reduce the load on the motor to prevent the thermal protector from tripping again.
3. Push the thermal reset button hard until a sharp snap is heard. If a snap is not
heard, the motor may need to cool further.
4. The unit is ready.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
1. Maintain the device with care. A device in good condition is efficient, easier
to control and will have fewer problems.
2. Inspect the device components periodically. Repair or replace damaged or
worn components. Only use identical replacement parts when servicing.
3. Maintain the device’s labels and name plates. These carry important
information. If unreadable or missing, contact Princess Auto Ltd.
for replacements.
WARNING! Only qualified service personnel should repair the device. An
improperly repaired device may present a hazard to the user and/or others.
CONDENSATE DRAINS
The motor comes with one way sintered brass breather drains. These drains
allow the motor to expel liquids from the casing without allowing liquid to enter
the motor.
