Maintenance Tips

• Routine Cleaning: Wipe down the motor exterior regularly with a damp cloth to remove moisture, residue, or debris. Avoid using high-pressure water directly on seals.

• Inspect Seals and Gaskets: Regularly check for wear or damage to ensure the motor remains moisture-resistant. Replace seals if any signs of deterioration appear.

• Lubricate Bearings: Apply appropriate lubricant at recommended intervals using moisture-resistant grease. Avoid over-lubrication.

• Check Electrical Connections: Ensure terminals are tight and free of corrosion. Moisture can cause electrical faults, so inspect connectors frequently.

• Monitor Motor Load: Use a controller or meter to confirm the motor operates within its rated voltage and current range. Overloading can reduce lifespan.

• Inspect Brushes: For permanent magnet DC motors, examine brushes for wear and ensure they move freely in their holders. Replace brushes as needed.

• Dry Environment After Washdown: After cleaning or exposure to wet conditions, ensure the motor dries thoroughly before operation to prevent internal damage.
