3. Operating

3.1 Use

3.1.1 Operating conditions

The machines are intended for use in industrial drive
applications.
Normal ambient temperature limits are -20° to +40°C.
Maximum altitude 1000 m above sea level.

3.2 Safety considerations

The machine is intended for installation and use by
qualifi ed personnel, familiar with relevant safety
requirements.
Safety equipment necessary for the prevention of
accidents at the installation and operating site must be
provided in accordance with the local regulations.
WARNING
Small motors with supply current directly
switched by thermally sensitive switches can
start automatically.

3.2.1 Points to observe

1. Do not use the machine to step on.
2. The temperature of the outer casing of the
machine may be hot to the touch during normal
operation.
3. Some special machine applications require
special instructions (e.g. using frequency
converter supplies).
4. Lifting lugs must only be used for lifting the motor.
They must not be used to lift the motor when it is

bearings.
Never fi t a coupling half or pulley by hammering into
place or remove it using a lever pressed against the
body of the machine.
Mounting accuracy of coupling half:
check that the clearance b is less than 0.05 mm and
that the difference a1 to a2 is also less than 0.05 mm.
