Maintenance Tips

• Rinse with Care:
  Built for washdown environments, this motor’s white epoxy coating resists moisture and corrosion. Still, avoid high-pressure spray near seals or junctions.

• Inspect Seals & Gaskets:
  Regularly check seals for integrity to maintain IP protection and prevent water ingress during cleaning.

• Keep Vent Openings Clear:
  Even with TENV or TEFC designs, ensure any cooling or drain points remain unobstructed for proper performance.

• Check for Corrosion:
  Though corrosion-resistant, inspect terminals and mounting areas for any signs of oxidation or wear, especially in high-saline or chemical areas.

• Monitor Performance:
  Listen for abnormal noise or vibration. Consistent operation signals proper alignment and internal health.

• Test Electrical Continuity:
  Periodically confirm voltage stability and tight, clean terminal connections for consistent power delivery.

• Lubricate Bearings as Needed:
  Follow the OEM schedule and use food-grade or specified lubricant if applicable to maintain motor smoothness and hygiene standards.
