1. RECEIVING INSPECTION:
When receiving the motor and anything has
been noticed, notify immediately the carrier,
the insurance company and WEG.
Failure in giving notice to the carrier, to the
insurance company and to WEG may result
in loosing product warranty.
Do not remove the existing protecting
grease from the shaft end, nor the stoppers
or plugs that close the terminal box holes,
if any. These protection items must be kept
in place until the final installation has been
concluded.
After being removed from the package, a
complete visual inspection on the motor
should be made:
Check if any damage has occurred during
transportation.
Check nameplate data.
Rotate the shaft by hand to make sure it is
turning freely.
Make sure the motor was not exposed
to excessive dirt and moisture during
transportation and storage.
2. HANDLING AND
TRANSPORTATION

The shafT
specific for such purpose
Lifting devices, when supplied, are designed
only to support the motor. If the motor has
two lifting devices, then a double chain must
be used to lift it.
Lifting and lowering must be done gently
without any shocks, to avoid bearing
damage.

3. STORAGE
If motors are not immediately installed, they
must be stored in dry areas, free of dust,
vibrations, gases, corrosive smokes, under
constant temperature and in normal position
free from other materials.
Motor storage temperature must remain
between 5ºC to 60ºC, with relative humidity
not exceeding 50%.
If motors are stored for more than two years,
bearings must be replaced or the lubrication
grease
must
be
cleaning.
Single-phase motors when kept in stock for
2 years or more must have their capacitors
replaced (if any).
WEG recommends to rotate the shaft (by
hands) at least once a month, and to measure
the insulation resistance before installing it, if
motors are stored for more than 6 months or
when subject to high humidity areas.
If motor is fitted with space heaters, it is
recommended to switch them on during
storage period if the relative humidity exceeds
50%.
If motor remains in stock for a long period
without having the space heaters switched-
on or when installed but not in operation,
moisture/water
condense. On these cases, water must be
drained by removing the threaded drain
plugs. When drainage is done, switch-on the
space heaters and make sure the motor is
completely dry, then reinstall the drain plugs
to ensure proper Degree of Protection (see
figure 1).
