WARNING
WARNING
D Wear protective clothing whenever handling the motor.
The motor has sharp edges and projections which present a danger of injury, as well as electrical
circuits which may subject the operator to the danger of electric shock. Protective gloves and
shoes must be worn.
D Use a crane or other lifting equipment to move the motor.
The motor is heavy. A suitable crane or other lifting equipment must be used to move the motor.
(The weight of the motor is given in the Descriptions.) When moving the motor using a crane
or other lifting equipment, fit a hanging bolt if the motor is provided with a tapped hole for this
purpose. Otherwise, use a rope, such as a fiber rope. If, however, the motor has been mounted
in a machine or other equipment, do not use a hanging bolt to move the motor. In such a case,
attempting to use a hanging bolt to move the motor may result in damage to the hanging bolt or
motor. Do not apply force to the windings while moving the motor. Otherwise, the windings
may break or their insulation may be damaged.
D Do not touch the motor with wet hands.
Touching the motor with wet hands is extremely dangerous and may result in electric shock.
D Ensure that the power to the motor is turned off before attempting to perform wiring work.
Performing wiring work while the power to the motor is turned on is extremely dangerous and
may result in electric shock.
D Keep hazardous substances well away from the motor.
The motor is connected to the power magnetic circuit. Also, the motor generates heat while
operating. Operating the motor in the proximity of any inflammable substance is therefore
extremely dangerous, as there is a danger of combustion, ignition, or explosion.
D Ground the motor.
To prevent electric shock, ensure that the ground terminal in the terminal box is securely
connected to the machine ground.
