WARNING: EYE PROTECTION MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES WHILE SERVICING THIS MIXER.
5.1 Fill the gear drive with oil to the proper level using only one of the products listed in Table 1 as appropriate for the expected
ambient temperature range. If the oils listed in Table 1 are not available, the EP oils listed in Table 2 may be used as a
substitute. Use only one type of oil in any single mixer. Do not mix oil types, grades or brands in any mixer. If it becomes
necessary to add oil to a mixer prior to the normal drain interval, be sure to use only the same type, brand and grade oil
used at the original fill. Do not use any product not listed in Table 1 without prior factory approval (refer to Paragraph 5.8 for
additional details).
In selecting an oil from Table 1, use the grade that most closely suits the average ambient temperature range that may be
expected before the next oil change. If the expected ambient temperature overlaps two temperature ranges defined in
Table 1, use the lower viscosity grade.
5.2 Lubrication instruction revisions
Both AGMA Standards and Lubricant Manufacturer’s offerings change, over time. The lubricant information in this general
instruction may be different than in older versions. In most cases LIGHTNIN urges the customer to be consistent with
AGMA lubrication standards, but we recognize that they may have had successful field experience based on the older
instructions. Immediate conversion is not required, however a gradual transition to the current lubrication standards is
recommended.

5.3 Filling mixer with oil:


a. Mixers mounted vertical on tank centerline can be filled by removing the dipstick/oil fill plug. Add the amount of oil
stamped on the mixer nameplate. Replace the dipstick/oil fill plug and recheck oil level. The dipstick full mark should
always be used as the most accurate guide to the actual oil level in a specific mixer. Always stop the mixer to check the
oil level.
b. Mixers with angular offset mounting are furnished with a stand pipe type arrangement for oil measurement. The stand
pipe/oil drain assembly must be adjusted to maintain the elevation of the stand pipe in respect to the top face of the
gear drive (see Figure 2), using the values in the table. Once this has been accomplished, fill the stand pipe to the top
and replace the oil plug. The oil level should be maintained within 1/8” of the top of the stand pipe.

CAUTION: DUE TO LUBRICATION CONSIDERATIONS, MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE INPUT SPEED IS 2000 RPM.
Series 10 Mixers are supplied with one of the following dipsticks:
a. 220021PSP (blade #219646) for use with input speeds of 1800, 1500, 1200, 1000, 900, or 750 RPM.
b. 220022PSP (blade #219649) for use with input speeds at or below 600 RPM.

If the mixer is to be operated at or below 600 RPM for an extended period of time, and dipstick 220021PSP has been
furnished, fill the gear drive housing with oil to a point 11mm (7/16 inch) OVER the full mark on the dipstick. When normal
operation resumes (input speed above 600 RPM), the excess oil must be removed or oil spillage will occur.
If the mixer is to be operated above 600 RPM for an extended period of time, and dipstick 220022PSP has been furnished,
drain the gear drive housing of oil to a point 11mm (7/16 inch) BELOW the full mark on the dipstick. When normal
operation resumes (input speed below 600 RPM), oil must be added or gear drive damage will occur.
CAUTION: DIPSTICK 220022PSP WAS NOT DESIGNED TO REGISTER THE LOWER OIL LEVEL MENTIONED ABOVE.
TO ENSURE PROPER LOW OIL LEVEL READING, DIPSTICK 220021PSP MUST BE USED.
5.4 The oil change frequency required for the gear drive is dependant upon the type of oil being used and the overall operating
conditions. In general, higher operating or local ambient temperatures or adverse operating conditions will require more
frequent oil changes. Table 3 provides specific guidance regarding the oil change interval for these gear drives. These oil
change intervals must be adhered to.

Operating Hours Calendar Months
Intermittent 2 2500 6
1 5000 12
Continuous 2 4380 6
(24 Hours Per Day) 1 8760 12

Table 3 – Recommended Normal Oil Change Intervals

5.5 The lubricant change interval may be extended if a comprehensive oil analysis program is established. Such a program
must include both spectrographic and ferrographic analyses as well as viscosity, total acid number, total based number,
and water content. If such an analysis program is in place, the oil should only be changed when degradation or
contamination is indicated by the analysis results. In no case should the oil change interval exceed 36 months.
DO NOT MIX oil types, grades or brands in the same mixer. If, at any oil change interval, it is necessary to change
lubricant, it is necessary to flush the mixer as follows:
a. Drain existing lubricant from gear drive as fully as possible.
b. Refill mixer as described above with new lubricant.
c. Operate gears drive long enough to reach normal operating temperature, usually at least two hours.
d. Drain and discard the lubricant from the gear drive.
e. Refill mixer with new lubricant and return to service.

REVISION DATE 01-31-96 INST. NO. IT-3749


P REVISED 08-22-12 COPYRIGHT © 2008 SPX CORPORATION PAGE 5 OF 11
5.6 More frequent oil change intervals, of one half to two thirds of the periods listed in Table 3, may be necessary if unfavorable
operating conditions that tend to degrade the oil or cause excessive condensation exist. Unfavorable conditions are
defined as:
a. Intermittent operation with rapid changes in oil temperature.
b. Wide fluctuations in ambient temperatures over short time spans.
c. Harmful vapors, chemical fumes, dusty atmospheres or prolonged humid atmospheres.
d. If adverse operating conditions are present, reputable lubricant suppliers can test oil and recommend economical oil
change schedules.
5.7 No periodic grease relubrication is required except for the motor bearings. All gear drive bearings are lubricated by oil
splash. Refer to the motor maintenance instructions for motor bearing lubricant specifications and recommended
frequency of relubrication.
5.8 ALTERNATE OILS
a. Care must be taken to choose an appropriate alternate lubricant.
b. The selection of an alternate oil should be done only after thorough evaluation by a qualified individual. Lubrication is a
complex subject with numerous variables.
NOTE: The gear drive contains elastomers, gear case sealer and other materials that may not be suitable for use
with an alternate oil. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the oil is compatible.
c. All lubricants DO NOT perform equally, even though they may be the same AGMA viscosity grade. Each lubricant has
different performance levels based on the specific additives and formulations. It is the Customer’s
responsibility to understand the performance capability of the alternate lubricant they will be
using.
d. LIGHTNIN DOES NOT APPROVE OR INVESTIGATE ALTERNATE OILS. We recognize, however, that
alternate oils may perform adequately and provide other benefits to the customer. Customers may want an alternate oil
due to cost, availability or commonality of use with other equipment. In light of this, LIGHTNIN provides general
guidance for the customer or a third party to evaluate alternate oils.
e. LIGHTNIN offers general guidelines for evaluating alternate oils, however, successful field experience is critical to the
selection.
f. Most lubricant manufacturers can provide, upon request, product specification data sheets for each of their products.
These data sheets generally provide all or most of the data required.
g. If a lubrication related failure occurs, the Customer’s lubricant evaluation and field experience would be considered in
the failure analysis.
h. The Warranty may be voided if the customer has not conducted a proper lubricant evaluation,
before using the alternate lubricant.
i. For suggestions of a third party to perform an oil evaluation, the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers may
be contacted at www.stle.org.

SECTION 6 - STORAGE PROCEDURES
LIGHTNIN Mixers and Aerators, like all precision equipment, must be protected against corrosion during prolonged periods of
inactivity. The primary cause of corrosion is condensation due to fluctuating temperatures and/or high humidity. Properly treated
and located in clean, dry surroundings, inactive equipment can be successfully stored without damage from corrosion attack.
REVIEW AND FOLLOW THE PROCEDURES THAT FOLLOW. FAILURE TO PROPERLY STORE AND PROTECT THE
EQUIPMENT AS OUTLINED MAY VOID ANY WARRANTY, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED.
Electric motors or other prime movers are not prepared for indoor storage beyond the periods listed by LIGHTNIN. OUTDOOR
STORAGE OF MOTORS IS NOT RECOMMENDED BY ANY MOTOR MANUFACTURER. For storage periods beyond those
mentioned, refer to motor maintenance instructions furnished with this manual for further details.
The seal cartridge of mechanical seal mixers is not filled with lubricant. Fill the seal cartridge with lubricant as outlined in the seal
maintenance instructions of this manual.
6.1 STORAGE OF NEW MIXERS
LIGHTNIN mixers are factory treated with high quality corrosion inhibitors and rust preventatives. The products used will
effectively protect mixers from corrosion due to water and water vapor for the following initial periods depending on how the
mixers are stored.
a. LENGTH OF CORROSION PROTECTION
1. 12 months, when stored in a dry, ambient atmosphere with controlled temperatures. Corrosion protection to be
reapplied at 12 month intervals.
2. 6 months, when stored indoors in a dry, ambient atmosphere without temperature control. Corrosion protection to be
reapplied at 6 month intervals.
3. 6 months, when stored outdoors as crated, with suitable protection from the elements. Coverings must be
waterproof, but have provisions for free circulation of air to avoid buildups of condensation. Equipment must be
elevated at least 300mm (12 inches) above ground level to reduce moisture pickup. CORROSION PROTECTION
TO BE REAPPLIED AT 4 MONTH INTERVALS AFTER INITIAL STORAGE.
b. STORAGE OF INSTALLED MIXERS
1. Mixers that have been installed, but not filled with oil and will be inactive for an extended period should be prepared
per 6.2
2. Mixers that have been installed, filled with oil and run, but will be inactive for an extended period should be prepared
for storage per 6.3.
c. STORAGE OF CRATED MIXERS
For mixers that will be stored for periods longer than 6 months as crated indoors without temperature control or
outdoors, remove the dipstick/oil fill plug (located on top of the gear drive) per Section 4.1. Add 0.06 liter (2 ounces) of
”NOX RUST” and replace the plug.
d. INSPECTION
Inspect factory installed wrappings and coatings. If factory wrappings and coatings are accidentally removed or
damaged, reapply them over the exposed areas. Corrosion inhibitors deteriorate rapidly when exposed to air and water
vapors.
6.2 CORROSION PROTECTION RENEWAL
Careful adherence to the renewal procedures will afford adequate protection for the same period covered by a factory
prepared mixer when stored under conditions as defined in 6.1. These procedures should be repeated at the same
intervals as noted in 6.1.
a. The interior of the gear drive must be treated with a vapor phase inhibitor.
”NOX RUST” VCI No. 10 preservative oil, a product of Daubert Chemical Co., Chicago, IL. (This is the factory applied
product).
b. Prepare the mixer as follows:
1. Remove cover and protective wrappings.
2. Remove oil fill plug and add 0.06 liter (2 ounces) of ”NOX RUST” to sump oil.
3. Add fresh grease to the motor bearings. Remove relief plugs and add lubricant until fresh grease appears at the
relief. Replace plugs.
4. Rotate motor shaft by hand to distribute grease and turn over oil in gear sump.
5. Spray ”NOX RUST” preservative oil to exposed cavities.
6. Seal off breathing passages with VPI paper and wrap with waterproof tape.

6.3 STORAGE OF INACTIVE MIXERS
Mixers that have been in service, but will be idle less than 3 months, should be run at least 15 minutes every week and
receive regular maintenance. Mixers inactive more than 3 months should be prepared as follows:
a. Check the condition of the oil. (Lubricant suppliers can furnish oil checking service).
b. If the oil condition is good, add 0.06 liter (2 ounces) of ”NOX RUST” rust preventative oil to the regular oil.
c. If the oil has deteriorated, or is due to be changed under normal schedules, drain the gear drive completely.
1. Spray a mist of ”NOX RUST” in the gear drive, directing the spray to all corners for maximum coverage.
2. Add 0.06 liter (2 ounces) of ”NOX RUST”.
d. Remove the dipstick/oil fill plug and store in a safe place. Seal the opening with a solid plug.
e. Cover mixers stored indoors with a waterproof covering, allowing for free air circulation.
f. Inspect the drive every 4 months and:
1. Regrease all motor bearings. Rotate motor shaft.
2. Add additional ”NOX RUST” as outlined above.
3. Rotate shafts to distribute fresh oil and grease.
6.4 START-UP PREPARATION
a. Remove all wrappings and coverings.
b. Rotate shafts to check for free movement.
c. Install the dipstick/oil fill plug.
d. Check oil fill level, with the mixer stopped, and fill if necessary.

SECTION 7 - BOLT TIGHTENING TORQUE RECOMMENDATIONS


Inadequately or improperly tightened hardware can loosen due to vibration or the load reactions imposed by fluid forces. This
can result in reduced equipment service life or damage and failure.
7.1 Recommended torques for tightening metric bolts and screws on LIGHTNIN Mixers and Aerators and their mounting
structures are listed in Table 5 for your general reference. These average torque values should be considered only as
guides and not as absolute values.
The amount of torque required to maintain a tight connection can vary considerably for bolts of the same size under
different operating conditions. Variations such as basic joint design, compression factors, type and strength of base and
hardware material, surface finish of mating parts and lubrication are only some of the factors that influence the tightness of
bolted connections for given bolt torques.
UNLESS SPECIFICALLY LISTED ELSEWHERE IN THE DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS, TIGHTEN THE MIXER AND
MOUNTING HARDWARE TO THE RECOMMENDED VALUES SHOWN IN TABLE 5. A torque wrench must be used to
ensure compliance with these torque requirements.
Certain assembly connections may require special torques that are not listed in Table 5. These torques can be found in the
detailed assembly and disassembly sections of your manual. REVIEW YOUR MANUAL CAREFULLY TO DETERMINE
WHERE SPECIAL TORQUES ARE REQUIRED.
For severe duty service, torques higher than listed, to tighten a bolt to maximum capacity, can often be used. However, due
to the many variables previously mentioned, the only absolute method to determine optimum torque is to deliberately yield
a bolt under actual conditions. If a bolt does yield or shear, 75% of the torque applied in yielding the bolt can be used to
obtain a tight connection that is satisfactory.
ALL BOLTS SHOULD BE RETIGHTENED 12 HOURS AFTER ASSEMBLY, AND AT EACH SCHEDULED SHUT DOWN
THEREAFTER.

GEAR DRIVE MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR SERIES 10 MODELS 14, 15 & 16
SECTION 1 -- GENERAL
1.1 Series 10 gear drives are precision manufactured and assembled to provide long trouble--free service when
properly maintained. If it becomes necessary to disassemble the unit, careful precise re--assembly is
necessary.
a . Equipment that may be required to service a unit, in addition to standard mechanics tools, are hoist, slings,
arbor press, wheel pullers, torque wrench, feeler gauges, dial indicator and micrometers.
b . When disassembling a unit, clean external surfaces adjacent to covers to prevent dirt from entering the
housing.
c . During disassembly, keep old shim--pack sets with their respective cages and retainers for reference when
reassembling.
d . It is recommended that oil seals, O--rings and gaskets be replaced when units are disassembled.
e . Refer to the Mixer Assembly drawing included in this manual for parts identification.
f . Refer to the General Instructions for bolt tightening torques.
g . HIGH SPEED COUPLINGS as standard are either elastomer flexible element type (standard duty) or TYPE
H or T10 tapered grid (variable speed/variable torque applications).
h . Determine the type high speed coupling furnished and refer to the appropriate coupling instructions for
required alignment and assembly procedures. Coupling identifiers are located on the coupling
components.
1.2 Prior to servicing the gear drive, do the following:
a . Disconnect the motor leads or otherwise lock--out power supply.
b . Drain oil from gear drive by removing the 1/2” NPT oil drain plug.
c . Remove safety guard (240) and coupling shield (247).
d . If gear drive is to be removed from the vessel, see the Shaft Installation and Removal Instructions included
in this manual for shaft and coupling removal procedures.

SECTION 2 -- PARTS REMOVAL


WARNING: EYE PROTECTION MUST BE WORN AT ALL TIMES WHILE SERVICING THIS MIXER.
2.1 SEAL REPLACEMENT
a . We recommend that oil seals and O--rings be replaced when the unit is dismantled. Carefully check for
nicks, gouges and deformities if they are not being replaced.
b . Coat O--rings and the rubber lip of all oil seals with a light grease before installing.
c . Be sure to install all oil seals in the correct orientation (with the closed side of the metal case facing upward).
Refer to mixer assembly drawing.
d . Install oil seals with the appropriate seal driver, being careful not to damage the metal case. If new oil seals
are being used, coat seal cases with Permatex #1 or equivalent and press into bores with the proper seal
driver. Apply a coating of grease to the oil seal lip and cavity.
e . If a bearing has been removed and its condition is suspect, clean the bearing with a solvent and allow to
dry. DO NOT SPIN dry bearings. Dip the bearings in a light oil for protection before spinning to check
bearing condition.
2.2 GEAR AND PINION REMOVAL
a . Remove the cap screws connecting the motor pedestal (230) to the gear drive housing (200) and remove
the motor (101), motor coupling half (233) and motor pedestal as an assembly.
b . Remove the drive cover (201) and oil seal (202). Scrape off all gasket material from the cover and the gear
drive housing.

PER FLANGE

SHAFT FLANGE
ELASTOMER SLEEVE (SPLIT) OUTSIDE CALIPERS

INTRODUCTION:
Elastomeric couplings consist of three basic elements - two shaft flanges and one elastomer split sleeve. Each
shaft flange is identified with basic size and shaft bore. Elastomer sleeves are identified with basic size and a
material code letter stamped on or molded in.
Rubber sleeves are black and are coded with size/style designations 4JES thru 8JES and 9E. Polyester sleeves
are peach color and designated as 6HS thru 11HS.
INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE:
Only simple tools are required; an allen wrench, straightedge and outside calipers. To install or replace elastomer
sleeves, loosen both set screws in one of the shaft flanges and slide the flange back. Remove the two piece sleeve
or spread apart one-piece split sleeves and replace with the same type new sleeve. Install the new sleeve over
the shafts and slide the sleeve into the stationary shaft flange until it seats firmly against the flange inner wall. For
couplings equipped with a type E sleeve (two piece with a retaining ring), the retaining ring has to be pried out of
the sleeve groove for sleeve removal and back into position after installing new sleeve and checking alignments.
Slide the loose shaft flange into position, engaging the sleeve teeth until the sleeve fits snugly against the flange
inner wall. The teeth on the elastomer sleeve should be fully engaged and slightly underflush within each shaft
flange. DO NOT force the flanges together so as to compress the sleeve in any way.
NOTE: Shaft gap is determined by the width of the elastomer element when engaged in both hub halves.
PARALLEL ALIGNMENT:
Place a straightedge across the 2 coupling flange rims and measure the maximum offset at 90° intervals around
the coupling. If the maximum offset exceeds the allowable values in the table, add or subtract equal thicknesses
of motor foot shims until parallel alignment is as close as possible.
ANGULAR ALIGNMENT:
Check angular alignment with outside calipers (or micrometers) as shown above. Check at 90° intervals around
the coupling. DO NOT ROTATE the coupling during this measurement. The difference between the maximum and
minimum measurement should not exceed the allowable value in the table. Re-check parallel alignment once
angular alignment has been achieved.
NOTE: To insure maximum sleeve life, keep misalignment values as near zero as possible.

IMPORTANT: Before starting up, be sure the coupling guard is replaced and properly secured. Elastomer sleeves can
be thrown from the assembly when subjected to a severe shock load.
Due to vastly different torque ratings, NEVER substitute a polyester (peach) sleeve with a rubber (black) sleeve or vice
versa. Do not use polyester sleeves on variable speed applications until the application has been reviewed by
LIGHTNIN Engineering personnel.

INTRODUCTION:
These instructions apply to Type T10/H and Type T20/V Tapered Grid Couplings. These couplings are designed
to operate in either the horizontal or vertical position without modification. However, for vertical applications, the
match mark shown above must be up. The performance and life of the couplings depend largely upon how you
install and service them. Carefully follow the instructions that follow for optimum performance and trouble free
service.

PARTS IDENTIFICATION:
All coupling parts have identifying part numbers as shown above. Parts 3 and 4 (Hubs and Grids) are the same
for both T10/H and T20/V couplings; all other coupling parts are NOT INTERCHANGEABLE. Therefore, when
ordering parts, always SPECIFY SIZE and TYPE.

INSTALLATION:
Only standard mechanic’s tools, wrenches, a straight edge and feeler gauges, are required to install Taper Grid
couplings. Couplings are furnished for PUSH or LIGHT TAP FIT with set screws. For best results, clean all parts
thoroughly and align coupling for minimum angular and parallel misalignment. Set the coupling gap as
recommended; permanently fasten unit foundation bolts and then recheck alignment. Refer to Page 5 for detailed
instructions.

LIMITED END FLOAT:


When electric motors are fitted with sleeve bearings, limited axial and float couplings should normally be employed
to protect motor bearings. Tapered Grid couplings are easily modified to limit end float. Consult the factory if this
feature is required.

LUBRICATION:
Flexible couplings are shipped from the factory lubricated as follows:
High Speed Couplings - Type T10 or H - Shell EP2
Low Speed Couplings - Type T20 - Falk Long Term Grease
Type H - Texaco Marfax 2 or Mobilux EP2 Grease
Adequate lubrication is essential for proper operation of the coupling. It is recommended that the coupling be
checked once a year and lubricant added if required. Unusual conditions may have an effect on the lubricant. For
applications involving exposure to excessive moisture, extreme heat or cold, severe and rapid reversing or heavy
shock loads, it is recommended the coupling be checked at more frequent intervals. The following specifications
apply to lubricants for Grid couplings which are lubricated annually and operate within ambient temperatures of 0°
to 150° F. For temperatures beyond this range, consult the factory.
Dropping Point - 300° F or higher
Consistency - NLGI No. 2 with worked penetration value in the range of 250 to 300.
Separation and Resistance - Low oil separation rate and high resistance to separation from centrifuging.
Liquid Constituent - To posses good lubrication properties...equivalent to a high quality, well refined petroleum
oil.
Inactive - Should not corrode steel or cause swelling or deterioration of neoprene.
Clean - Free from foreign inclusions.
A list of lubricants meeting the above specifications is available from the factory.

LUBE FITTINGS:
A standard grease gun with a 1/8 NPT fitting, or any standard lube fitting including the Alemite No. 1610B, Lincoln
No. 5000 or Universal No. 800, may be used on the 1/8 NPT fitting in the cover.

6 LUBRICATE - With the lube relief plug removed, fill the coupling through fitting
with recommended grease until an excess appears at the relief. INSTALL LUBE PLUG
when lubrication is completed.

7 COUPLING DISASSEMBLY AND GRID REMOVAL - Whenever it is


necessary to disconnect the coupling, draw back the cover halves and remove the grid. A
round rod or screwdriver that will conveniently fit into the open loop ends of the grid is
required. Begin at the open end of the grid section and insert the rod or screwdriver into
the loop ends. Use the teeth adjacent to each loop as a fulcrum and pry the grid out
radially in even, gradual stages. Proceed alternately from side to side, lifting the grid about
halfway out until the end of the grid is reached. By following the same procedure once
again, the grid will clear the teeth.

MOTOR MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR C--FACE AND FOOT MOUNTED
MOTORS FURNISHED BY LIGHTNIN9

SECTION 1 -- INITIAL INSPECTION, SHIPPING ARRANGEMENTS


1.1 Care is taken at the factory to assure that the motor arrives at its destination in first class condition. If there
is evidence of rough handling or damage in shipment, file a claim at once with the carrier and notify our
factory.
Examine the outside of the motor carefully for damage, with particular attention to the conduit box, fans
and covers. Check nameplate for correct speed, horsepower, voltage, hertz and phase for
conformance with power supply. Turn the shaft by hand to be sure it rotates freely. If the motor has been
mishandled sufficiently to break external parts, the end shield should also be removed to check for
internal damage unless the motor is explosion--proof. See warning below on explosion--proof motors.
1.2 ! WARNING
• EXPLOSION--PROOF MOTORS -- These motors are constructed to comply with the U.L. Label
Service Procedure manual. When repairing and reassembling a motor that has an Underwriter’s Label,
it is imperative that the unit be reinspected and;
a . All original fits and tolerances must be maintained
b . All plugs and hardware to be securely fastened
c . Any part replacements, including hardware, be accurate duplicates of the originals
REPAIR WORK ON EXPLOSION--PROOF MOTORS CAN ONLY BE DONE BY THE ORIGINAL
MANUFACTURER OR U.L. CERTIFIED SERVICE SHOPS. VIOLATIONS OF ANY OF THE ABOVE
ITEMS WILL INVALIDATE THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE U.L. LABEL.

SECTION 2 -- START--UP
2.1 After unpacking and inspection to see that all parts are in good condition, turn the shaft by hand to be
sure there are no obstructions to free rotation. Equipment which has been in storage should be tested
prior to being put into service.
a . It is best to check the insulation resistance of the stator winding with a megohmeter. If resis-
tance is lower than one megaohm, the windings should be dried thoroughly before operating.
Do not exceed a temperature of 80° C (185° F) in drying.
b . Motors are shipped from the factory with the bearings properly packed with grease and ready
to operate. Where the unit has been subjected to extended storage (6 months or more), the
bearings should be relubricated prior to starting.
2.2 WIRING -- Examine the nameplate data to see that it agrees with the power circuit to which the motor
is to be connected. The motor is guaranteed to operate successfully with frequency not more than 5%
and voltage not more than 10% above or below the nameplate data, or combined variation of voltage
and frequency of not more than 10% above or below nameplate data. Efficiency, power factor and cur-
rent may vary from nameplate data.
2.3 Temporarily connect the motor leads to a power source that matches the line voltage and wiring diagram
specified on the motor nameplate.
2.4 Check impeller shaft rotation by jogging the motor until it is determined that rotation is correct.

2.5 ! CAUTION
Repeated trial starts can overheat the motor (particularly for across-the-line starting). If repeated trial
starts are made, allow sufficient time between trials to permit heat to dissipate from the windings or rotor
to prevent overheating. Starting currents are several times running currents, and heating varies as the
square of the current.
When checks are satisfactory, make permanent connections.
2.6 ! WARNING
The frames and other metal exteriors of motors should be grounded to limit their potential to ground in
the event of accidental connection or contact between live electrical parts and the metal exteriors.
Explosion-proof motors should be grounded through the conduit box.
2.7 ! WARNING
Before starting motor, remove all unused shaft keys and loose rotating parts to prevent them from flying
off.
2.8 Start motor and operate at minimum load prior to filling the tank or basin. Look for any unusual condition.
The motor should run smoothly with little noise. If the motor should fail to start and produces a decided
hum, it may be that the load is too great for the motor or that it has been connected improperly. Shut
down immediately and investigate for trouble.
If motor is totally enclosed fan--cooled or non--ventilated, it is recommended that condensation drain
plugs be removed. These are located in the lower portions of the end shields or frame. Explosion--proof
motors do not have any plugs to remove.

SECTION 3 -- MOTOR MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE


3.1 To insure continued reliable operation of electric motors, the following basic rule applies: KEEP THE MO-
TOR CLEAN, DRY AND PROPERLY LUBRICATED. Motors should be inspected at regular intervals
with frequency depending upon the type of motor and the service.
Windings should be cleaned by blowing or vacuuming dust from them. Ventilating openings must be kept clear. If
dust and dirt is to be removed with a vacuum cleaner, nozzles should be of the non--metallic type. Deposits of dirt
and grease may be removed by using a commercially available low volatile solvent. DO NOT USE GASOLINE OR
OTHER FLAMMABLE SOLVENTS.
3.2 Terminal connections and assembly hardware may loosen from vibration during service and should be
tightened.
3.3 Insulation resistance should be checked at operative temperature and humidity conditions to determine
possible deterioration of insulation due to excessive moisture or extremes in operating environment. If
wide variations are detected, motors should be reconditioned.
3.4 LUBRICATION - Prior to shipment, motor bearings are greased with the proper amount and grade of lubri-
cant by the motor vendor. Motors equipped with sealed bearings require no additional lubrication. Motors
equipped with open or shielded bearings require lubrication periodically. It is recommended that the
bearing lubricant be inspected at the end of two or three months to determine the necessity to add
grease. Frequency of re--lubrication will vary with particular application and can be determined with peri-
odic inspection. The following table offers suggested re--lubrication frequency based on general operat-
ing conditions.

200 -- 350 1 month
All motors over 1800 RPM should be checked for re--lubrication at three month intervals.
! CAUTION: The greatest cause of bearing failure is over--greasing rather than under--greasing.
3.5 TYPE OF LUBRICANT
a . Check the motor nameplate to determine whether a specific grease has been recommended
by the motor manufacturer. Use that grease, if possible.
b . Lacking a specific grease recommendation, refer to the following.
For best results, grease should be compounded from a lithium soap base and a good grade
of petroleum oil. It should be of No. 2 consistency and stabilized against oxidation. Most lead-
ing oil companies have special bearing greases that are satisfactory.
3.6 LUBRICATION PROCEDURE
a . Motors equipped with grease fittings or plugs:
1 . Motor should be warm and disconnected from power source.
2 . Clean the exterior of the motor.
3 . Remove all pipe plugs and relief plugs.
(For some TEFC motors, it may be necessary to remove caps on fan cover and hexagonal rod
through fan cover to gain access to grease plugs and relief plugs)
4 . Using a low pressure, hand operated grease gun, pump in clean grease until it appears at the
relief hole or along motor shaft.
5 . Run the motor with the plugs removed for approximately two (2) hours.
6 . Stop the motor and wipe away excess grease at relief or along shaft and replace plugs.
b . Motors not having pipe plugs or grease fittings in bearing housings can be re--lubricated by
removing end shields from motor, cleaning grease cavities and refilling cavities to capacity
with new grease.
! CAUTION: Bearings and grease must be kept free of dirt.
c . Oil lubricated motors -- (sleeve bearing equipped) Oil should be added annually after 3 years
of normal or 1 year of heavy duty service. Electric motor or SAE 20 oil should be used.
For more specific maintenance and lubrication instructions, contact your local motor
manufacturer representative.

SECTION 4 -- STORAGE
Electric motors and other prime movers are not prepared by LIGHTNIN for indoor storage beyond 12 months
in a dry ambient atmosphere with controlled temperatures or 6 months in a dry ambient atmosphere without
temperature control. OUTDOOR STORAGE OF ELECTRIC MOTORS IS NOT RECOMMENDED BY ANY
MOTOR MANUFACTURER. For information on storage periods beyond those shown, consult the motor
manufacturer.
4.1 STORAGE REQUIREMENTS FOR MOTORS -- These extended storage requirements must be followed
to allow the submission of a valid warranty claim.
a . The motors, if not mounted, are to be stored in the original containers in a clean, dry, pro-
tected warehouse.
b . The storage area is to be free from any vibration and from extremes in temperature.
c . Bearings
1 . Ball & Roller (anti--friction) -- The bearings are to be fully greased at the time of going into
extended storage. Motor shafts are to be rotated manually every month at least 10 to 15
revolutions, and every 6 months, additional grease added purging some of that in the cavity.
Grease in the bearings is to be purged at the time of removal from storage, making sure that
an ample supply of fresh grease is in each grease cavity.
2 . Sleeve (oil lube) -- The bearings are tested using an oil containing a rust inhibitor. If motor is
stored for more than one month, the oil reservoirs must be refilled to the indicated level with
the specified lubricant. The shaft should be rotated by hand every month at least 10 to 15
revolutions to assure that an oil film is on the shaft and bearing surfaces.
d . All drains to be fully operable while in storage, and/or the drain plugs removed. The motors
must be stored so that the drain is at the lowest point. All breathers and automatic ”T” drains
must be operable to allow breathing at points other than through the bearing fits.
e . All units equipped with heaters are to have the heaters connected if storage conditions in any
way simulate or approach atmospheric conditions experienced in operation.
f . Windings to be megged at the time equipment is put into storage. At the time of removal from
storage, the resistance reading must not have dropped more than 50% from the initial read-
ing. Any drop below this point necessitates electrical or mechanical drying. Where a large
quantity of motors is stored, an inspection or sampling should be made by removing the end
brackets and visually inspecting for the presence of water in the grease, or rust on the bear-
ing. If present, replace the bearings and relubricate.
g . All external parts and motors subjected to corrosion should be protected by a corrosive resis-
tant coating.
h . Where motors are not stored in the original containers, the mounting must be such that the
drains and breathers are fully operable. In this respect, the drains must be kept at the lowest
point in the motor and/or the drain plugs removed so that all condensation can automatically
drain out.
i . All other storage conditions apply, including rotation of motor shafts. Where such conditions
cannot be met, then the equipment must be treated the same as if it were mounted in its nor-
mal position, and all protective devices such as heaters, breathers and drains fully operable.
