Motor Maintenance Instructions
Cleaning
To ensure that the Motor operates at optimum temperatures and provides years of trouble-free service,
periodically clean the outside of the Motor Housing of any build-up of dust, etc. Though it is not anticipated that, if
installed correctly and in a suitable environment, there should not be much build-up on the Motor, keeping the
Housing clean will allow the Motor to operate more efficiently.
Lubrication
This is a ball bearing motor. The bearings have been lubricated at the factory. Motors that do not have regrease
capability are factory lubricated for the normal life of the bearings.
Noted below is a chart outlining the interval at which the Motor should be lubricated, this is based on the Motor
horsepower. This must be part of a regular maintenance schedule.
