Should further infor- mation be desired or should particular problems arise which are not covered sufficiently for the purchaser’s pur- poses, the matter should be referred to GE Industrial Systems. RECEIVING The equipment should be placed under adequate cover immediately upon receipt, as packing coverings are NOT suitable for out-of-doors or unprotected storage.
Motor generator set bases have lifting holes, to be used with spreader bars or hooks. Care must be taken in handling to avoid twisting bases. GEH-5304A...
Motors for Class I locations must have leads sealed at the frame exit and an explosion-proof conduit box. See Sections 501-4 and 501-5. Motors for Class II locations must have leads sealed at the frame exit and a dust-ignition-proof conduit box. See Sections 502-4 and 502-5.

Use a dial indicator at hub faces and rotate both units together 90 , 180 , 270 and 360 or measure the gap at each position by inserting a feeler gage. The reading should not vary more than 0.002”. Correct any vertical misalignment by shimming between the base and the foundation. GEH-5304A...
The standard NEMA shaft extension is designed for belted loads. Dimensions are provided on the standard dimension sheets. A sliding base is available as an accessory to facilitate belt adjustment. Bearing Life Bearing life for belted drives is determined by calculating the radial load at the end of the shaft. GEH-5304A...

Matched belts run smoother and last longer. Longer belt life results if the belts and sheaves are kept clean and the belts are prevented from rubbing against the belt guards or other obstructions. , lbs Description GEH-5304A...
Pinion Drives While Kinamatic plied under suitable conditions. In addition to a radial load, some gears produce thrust load on the bearing. Complete details of the proposed gearing should be referred to GE Industrial Systems in all cases. Thrust Loads Due to the mounting position or type of drive arrangement, a thrust load may be applied to the motor shaft.
Power Supply Identification section are in common use. For operation of motors from rectified power supplies other than those given in this section, refer to GE Industrial Systems. A motor may, under some conditions, be operated from a power supply different from that indicated on the nameplate.

This can result in commutator damage and/or the need for excessive maintenance. If the application requires operation under these conditions, GE Industrial Systems will be pleased to suggest a change in brush grade or other measures to minimize the problem.
Continue seating until brush face is 85% seated. Again, the motor must be thoroughly blown out after brush seating, the same as with sanding. Avoid inhaling carbon and seater dust. GE Industrial Systems recommends using a dust mask during sanding, seating and blowing or vacuuming.
Reapply new sealant (use Titeseal T20-66, light weight, GE Part No. 905A999AC009) to these areas and wipe excess sealant with a clean rag slightly dampened with mineral spirits. Do not use silicone sealants. When accessories such as brakes and ta- chometers are disassembled, it will be necessary to reseal at the accessory mounting face.
Experience and judgement can be gained by careful observation and comparing results of visual in- spections with insulation resistance measurement. GE Service Shops have personnel who can inspect equipment and point out potential trouble areas. Their services can help build experience and judge- ment for future visual inspections.
It is important to realize that when blowing out a machine, dirt may settle in a previously cleaned area and it may be necessary to repeat the cleaning process to ensure that a thorough job is done.

Stoddard solvent has good solvency, but is flammable and moderately toxic. Before using any solvent, consult the Material Safety Data Sheet. Steam cleaning is not recommended because, as with liquid solvents, conducting contaminants may be carried deep into inaccessible areas resulting in shorts and grounds. GEH-5304A...
Repairs should be made only by qualified personnel using the materials and processes for which the motor was designed. To protect the warranty during the warranty period, all repairs must be made in a GE Service Shop or approved repair facility. Many repairs can be easily performed with only assembly operations, if GE replacement parts are available.
RENEWAL PARTS Using genuine GE renewal parts assures continued high performance and the full benefits of the long operating life designed into your GE motor. Downtime can be minimized by having a protective stock of parts available for replacement. (Refer to Table 14.) The permanently attached nameplate on your GE motor displays the model and serial number, providing all the information needed for ordering.
