1 INTRODUCTION
This manual is intended to provide information on the DC motors.
Special motors can be supplied with specific documents (drawings, connection diagram, characteristic curves, etc.). Those
documents together with this manual must be thoroughly studied before proceeding with installation, operation or
maintenance of the motor.
All procedures and standards contained in this manual must be observed in order to ensure the proper operation of the
motor and safety of the personnel involved in the operation. Following these procedures is also important to ensure the
validity of the motor warranty. Thus, we recommend the careful reading of this manual before installing and operating the
motor. If any additional explanations are necessary, please, contact WEG.

2 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
All personnel working in the assembly, operation or maintenance of electrical installations must be permanently informed and
updated on the safety standards and instructions and are advised to strictly comply with them. Before beginning any job, the
person in charge must make sure that all points have been duly observed and warn the respective personnel about the
danger inherent to the task to be performed. Motors of this type, when inappropriately applied or lacking adequate
maintenance, or also when handled by people lacking qualification may cause serious personal injuries and/or material
damages. Therefore, it is highly recommended that services be always performed by qualified personnel.

lubrication, that is, apply the correct grease
and in the proper quantity, because either
an insufficient lubrication or an excessive
lubrication has harmful effects.
4. Excessive lubrication makes the
temperature rise due to the great resistance
against the movement of the revolving parts
and especially due to the beating of the
grease, which eventually completely loses
its lubrication properties.
NOTE
WEG is not responsible for changing the
grease, or even for occasional damages
caused by the change.
ATTENTION
Greases with different types of base must
never be mixed.
Example: Lithium-based greases must never
be mixed with others with sodium or calcium
base.
