II. Handling and Installation
1. Do not use lead wires to pull, lift or handle the motor. The lead wires should be protected during
storage, handling, moving and installation of the motor.
2. Inspect the motor to determine that it is the correct hp, voltage and size for the job and that there is
no shipping damage.
3. The factory-installed water in the motor is supplied with antifreeze capable of temperatures to -30º
C (-22º F). Do not install, transport or store below these temperatures. If storage is necessary below
these temperatures, drain the water from the motor.
4. After long periods of idleness and on all new installations, check the electrical resistance and
megger the motor with lead wires connected. The insulation resistance should have a value of at
least 5 megohms at installation and at least 1 megohm after running.
5. Do not hammer the shaft, coupling or slinger since this may damage the thrust bearing. Check the
rotation of the motor by hand to insure that it turns freely.
6. Do not drop the bottom end of the motor in the dirt or mud since this may plug up the diaphragm
opening.
7. If motor is to be installed horizontally, make sure that the lead wires are at the 12 o'clock position
when facing the motor shaft (in horizontal position).
8. Before installation, verify that the motor is the correct required voltage. If using the voltage change
device see Section III, VCD Instructions.
9. Check that winding coil resistance in each phase is equal to values in Tables 4 - 6.
10. Select the proper overload relay or heaters per Table 1 - 3, 7 - 9, or 10.
