Baldor Reliance Electric Motor EM3714T

Ensure sleeve bearing (oil lube) motors are drained of oil prior to shipment

Refill oil reservoirs to the indicated level with the specified lubricant

Rotate the shaft by hand for 10 to 15 revolutions to distribute oil to bearing surfaces

Section 3 — Periodic Inspection

Listen for any abnormal noises and check cause immediately

Check for any vibration and check cause immediately if excessive vibration is found

Check voltage and frequency variations

Check power supply total harmonic distortion

Periodic checks of phase, voltage, frequency, and power consumption

Check air filters and air passages

Check that constant level oilers have oil in them and cap is screwed on tightly

Section 3 — Semi-Annual Maintenance

Section 3 — Lubrication Procedure

Ensure lubrication is done with motor running, stay clear of rotating parts and electrical circuits

Avoid over-lubrication of motor

Relubricate with the shaft stationary and a warm motor

Locate the grease inlet, clean the area and replace the pipe plug with a grease fitting if necessary

Clean caked grease around the plug with a wooden stick or suitable tool

If severe caking appears, run the motor until the bearing housing is warm

Locate the motor nameplate and find the recommended lubricant type and volume

Standard Conditions: 8 hours per day of operation, ambient temperature maximum 40°C, clean with little corrosion

For motors running 1800 RPM and slower under standard conditions, use the 1 Yearly task instead

For roller bearings, divide the relubrication interval by 2 (maintenance required more frequently)

Severe Conditions: 16 plus hours per day of operation, ambient temperature maximum 50°C, moderate dirt and corrosion

This interval applies to motors 1 thru 7-1/2 HP running at 1800 RPM or less

For roller bearings, divide the relubrication interval by 2 (maintenance required more frequently)

SECTION: Section 3 — Recommended Lubricant

Use only clean, fresh grease from clean containers
