Recommended Maintenance
WARNING
!
Before performing any maintenance,
disconnect the power, allow the motor to come to a
complete stop and wait five minutes. This will allow the
control capacitors to safely discharge any residual voltage.
Periodically inspect the installation. Check for dirt
accumulations, unusual noises or vibration, overheating,
worn or loose couplings, high motor amps, poor wiring
or overheated connections, and for loose mounting bolts
or guards.
Remove dirt accumulation, particularly in and around
the ventilation openings on the motor by vacuuming.
Dirt accumulations can cause motor overheating and
a fire hazard.
Do not use any type of solvents! Some solvents may
attack the motor insulation, finish or bearing lubricants.
Solvents are also highly flammable.
This motor contains ball bearings which are permanently
lubricated. No maintenance is required.

Nidec Motor Corporation extends the following LIMITED
WARRANTY to the purchaser and to its customers
(collectively referred to as the “Purchaser”) of the enclosed

OF 18 MONTHS FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL
PURCHASE FROM NIDEC MOTOR CORPORATION
OR THE NIDEC MOTOR CORPORATION DEALER/
RETAILER, NOT TO EXCEED 24 MONTHS FROM
THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE BY NIDEC MOTOR

IS THE ONLY WARRANTY GIVEN AND NO OTHER
WARRANTY IS PROVIDED, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, MERCHANTABILITY
OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Certain
aspects or disclaimers are not applicable to consumer
products, i.e., motors and components acquired by
individuals and used for personal, family or household
purposes (as distinguished from industrial or other
purposes). Some states do not allow
limitations on how
long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may
not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal
rights, and you may have other rights which vary from
state to state.
Certain repairs or services are the responsibility of
the Purchaser and the Purchaser is expected to
pay for them. This warranty does not extend to any
losses or damages due to misuse, accident, abuse,
neglect, negligence, unauthorized modification or
alteration, use beyond rated capacity, or improper

any warranty defects within the above stated warranty
period, Purchaser notifies Nidec Motor Corporation or the

Nidec Motor Corporation shall, at its option and as
Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy, repair or replace
or refund the purchase price for, that portion of the motor
and components found by Nidec Motor Corporation to
be defective. Failure by Purchaser to give such written
notice within the applicable time period shall be deemed
an absolute and unconditional waiver of Purchaser’s
claim for such defects. Purchaser must write or call the
dealer from whom the motor was purchased for directions
regarding the shipment of the motor, with freight pre- or
call the dealer from whom the motor was purchased for
directions regarding the shipment of the motor, with freight
prepaid by the Purchaser, to an authorized service location

handling of the motor, Purchaser should write Nidec
Motor Corporation at the address on the back cover of
this manual, giving the model number, the dealer’s name,
address and number of dealer’s invoice; and describing
the nature of the alleged defect. Arrangements for warranty
service will then be made by Nidec Motor Corporation. If
the motor is damaged in transit, Purchaser should file a
claim directly with the carrier.

CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER BASED
IN CONTRACT, INFRINGEMENT, NEGLIGENCE,

ITS CUSTOMER EXTEND TO INCLUDE INCIDENTAL
