Operation

• If a load is lifted, do not manually release the brake. If the brake is released, the lifted load may fall.
• In the inverter operation mode, operate the geared motor while observing the frequency range
specified in the catalog. If the frequency is out of the specified range, the motor may be damaged.
Before turning on the switch
(1) Check of each tightening bolt
Check that all the foundation bolts, sprocket bolts, coupling bolts, etc. are tightened enough.
(2) Check of electric system
Check that the motor is properly connected to the power supply unit. Check that the terminal box
is equipped with a cover. Check that the breaker capacity and the overcurrent protective relay are
properly set.
Regular operation
(1) Use the motor while observing the allowable loading torque range and the allowable starting
frequency range.
(2) During operation, if the motor generates an abnormal noise, vibrates abnormally, or does not ensure
the specified characteristics, be sure to stop operating the motor, and then inspect or overhaul the
motor.
(3) During operation, do not touch the geared motor. If you touch the motor, you may be injured or
burn your fingers.
Others
(1) At starting, apply a light load as far as possible. When the motor speed rises to the full speed,
apply the specified load.
(2) When the motor is stopped, be sure to turn off the switch.
