These motors are not designed for atmospheric conditions that require explosion proof operation. WARNING: UL Listed motors must only be serviced by UL Approved Authorized Baldor Service Centers if these motors are to be returned to a hazardous and/or explosive atmosphere. WARNING: Guards must be installed for rotating parts such as couplings, pulleys, external fans, and unused shaft extensions, should be permanently guarded to prevent accidental contact by personnel.

3. Measure and record the resistance of the winding insulation (dielectric withstand) every 30 days of storage. a. If motor insulation resistance decreases below the minimum resistance, contact your Baldor District office. b. Place new desiccant inside the vapor bag and re−seal by taping it closed.
Page 9
A decrease in resistance indicates moisture in the windings and necessitates electrical or mechanical drying before the motor can be placed into service. If resistance is low, contact your Baldor District office. 3. Regrease the bearings as instructed in Section 3 of this manual.
When installation is complete and accurate alignment of the motor and fan is accomplished, the base should be grouted to the foundation to maintain this alignment. The standard motor base is designed for vertical mounting. MN427 Installation & Operation 2−1 This Manual:http://www.manuallib.com/baldor/mn427-inverter-duty-pm-motors-manual.html...
Page 11
Mechanical vibration and roughness during operation may indicate poor alignment. Use dial indicators to check alignment. The space between fan hub and motor should be checked and maintained as recommended by the fan manufacturer. 2−2 Installation & Operation MN427 This Manual:http://www.manuallib.com/baldor/mn427-inverter-duty-pm-motors-manual.html...

To protect against motor overheating, thermostats must be connected to the appropriate controller circuit (function loss). Failure to connect the thermostats will void the motor warranty. Refer to MN776UG for correct thermostat lead connections. MN427 Installation & Operation 2−3 This Manual:http://www.manuallib.com/baldor/mn427-inverter-duty-pm-motors-manual.html...
RPM AC cooling tower motors are supplied with a shaft suitable for mounting the fan hub directly to the motor shaft. The motor must be ordered with the appropriate shaft dimensions to match the fan hub. 2−4 Installation & Operation MN427 This Manual:http://www.manuallib.com/baldor/mn427-inverter-duty-pm-motors-manual.html...
