CAUTION: Never mix synthetic lubricants with mineral lubricants!

CAUTION: Do not overgrease bearings. Injection of excess grease under pressure into sealed bearings may rupture seals.

Motor is used regularly in dirty, wet, or corrosive atmosphere?

Enter the motor's operation hours

Is there an appearance of grease at the ends of the bearings?

Old grease forced out with shot of new grease?

Fittings wiped clean after greasing?

NOTICE: Adjusting the air gap improperly may damage the motor. Do not attempt to make this adjustment unless the measured gap is outside the recommended allowance.

If the brake monitor continually trips and other causes have been ruled out, the air gap in the brake motor may need to be adjusted. The recommended air gap allowance is between .016 in. and .043 in. To check the current air gap and to adjust it, refer to Figure 6-1 and the following procedure.

1. Unscrew the manual brake handle extending from the side of the brake motor, if there is one.

2. Using a feeler gauge, measure the gap between the armature disk and brake housing, shown in Figure 6-1. Measure completely around the brake and record any variations in the gap measurement.

3. If the measurement is outside the allowance recommended at any point around the circumference of the brake, adjust the brake disk air gap using the following steps:

c) Pry the fan off of the motor shaft.

d) Adjust the setting bolt as needed to reach the recommended gap. A 1/4 or 1/2 turn is usually sufficient for adjusting purposes. See Figure 6-2.
