In this case, refer to the machine rating plate for data on the coolant
temperature and installation altitude.
Preparing for Use 5
Actions are taken in the factory to ensure the motor arrives at its
destination in optimal conditions. If you detect packaging damage when
receiving your motor, immediately submit a claim to the carrier and notify
your local SIEMENS sales office.
Once the motor has been unpackaged, inspect it to make certain no damage
has occurred in conduit box, fan cover or any part of the equipment. Put
special attention in optional additional devices such as tachometers, brakes,
blowers or auxiliary conduit boxes.
Inspect and tighten all the screws and fittings that might have come loose
during shipping. Rotate the shaft by hand to be sure it rotates freely. If it is
suspected that the motor has not been transported with sufficient care, in
such a way that it might have suffered structural damage; end-shields or
motor covers must be removed to check for some internal damage.
CAUTION: When inspecting the motor, be aware of burrs and
sharp edges in the structure, as they might cause injury.
CAUTION.
1. - Before any handling, make sure you have your personal safety
equipment such as shoes, gloves, girdle and lenses because if these
preventive measures are not taken, physical damage may occur.
2. - Make sure before any handling that the motor to be prepared
for its use is of the appropriate environment and complies with the
specifications according to the installation area.
3. - Explosion proof motors are designed to comply with the U.L.
label service procedure manual, therefore the repair or maintenance work of
this type of motors must be performed only by technical personnel
authorized by SIEMENS or in U.L. certified service centers. Violation of any
of the above will invalidate the U.L. certification as well as the SIEMENS
warranty.
4.- Check the storage time of the equipment as well as verify the
conditions of the bearing grease and, if necessary, change or renew it
before starting the installation.
