Maintenance Tips

• Confirm Voltage Match: Ensure compatibility with your system's power (200-230V/460V, 3-phase).

• Secure Mounting: Make sure the motor is firmly mounted to avoid vibration-related wear.

• Ensure Ventilation: Being an ODP (Open Drip Proof) motor, it must be in a clean, dry, well-ventilated space.

• Monitor Performance: Regularly check temperature, sound, and vibration to catch early signs of trouble.

• Lubricate Bearings: Follow manufacturer intervals for bearing lubrication to reduce friction and wear.

• Inspect Wiring: Periodically check all electrical connections for tightness and signs of corrosion.

• Clean Exterior: Keep the motor housing free of dust and debris to allow proper cooling.

• Routine Checks: Set a consistent maintenance schedule for long-term reliability.
