Receiving and Storage

Receiving

Each Toshiba International Corporation electric
motor is thoroughly tested at the factory and
carefully packaged for standard shipping.
Confirm the overall packaging condition upon
receipt.
Ensure that the nameplate data is consistent
with the order specifications.
Typically, motors are shipped FCA TIC factory
or warehouse. Freight Claims must be
submitted by the consignee to the carrier.
Remove the bearing lock plate before start up
(if used). Save the plate for reuse if subsequent
shipping is required.
Note: If unable to reinstall the bearing lock
plate, use wooden wedges to block the
shaft to prevent any movement during
shipping.
Before rigging the motor, inspect the lifting
equipment and eye bolts for damage.
Ensure that all motor eye bolts are tightened
securely. Confirm that the eye bolt shoulders
are in contact to the surface prior to lifting. Do
not use eye bolts that have been ground,
machined, or stamped. Do not use bars, grips,
or wrenches to tighten eye bolts.
Use proper lifting techniques when moving the
motor; including properly sizing the load,
getting assistance, and using a forklift if
required.
All of the main motor eye bolts must be used
when lifting the motor to ensure that the load is
equally dispersed among the eye bolts.
In conjunction with the eye bolts, for the
purpose of stabilizing the position of the motor,
additional lifting straps and/or slings must be
used to secure the load. A properly lifted or
transported motor will reduce the possibility of
the motor sliding or toppling over.
When the motor is supplied with two eye bolts,
the use of a spreader bar is required to
maximize the lift capability of each eye bolt.
The maximum incline loading angle is 45° to
vertical in relationship to the eye bolt. Slings or
straps shall not be passed through multiple eye
bolts at any time. There shall only be one leg
attached to each eye bolt. Do not force hooks

or other fittings into the eye; they must fit freely.
Do not shock load the eye bolts.
When lifting the motor, align the eye bolts to
ensure that the slings or straps in use are
aligned to the plane in relation to the eye bolt.
To maintain minimal bending forces on the eye
bolt, the load shall always be applied in the
plane of the eye bolt shaft, not in any other
direction.
Do not attempt to lift the motor when it is
attached to other equipment. Do not attempt to
lift the motor using provisions on auxiliary
equipment.
Motors that are not provided with a means for
lifting shall be treated as a two person lift.

Storage

If the motor is not used upon receipt, store
upright in the original packaging in a clean, dry,
and vibration-free environment.
Care should be taken to keep the equipment
covered when moving from a cold location to a
warm location, otherwise condensation may
occur. If condensation does occur, allow the
motor to dry thoroughly before applying power.
Using a megohmmeter, test the insulation
resistance of the windings before applying
power. A minimum of 10 megohms is
recommended.
Toshiba recommends turning the shaft by hand
every month when stored for long periods
(longer than 3 months) to redistribute the
lubricant in the bearings. Oil or grease should be
added every 6 months.
For long-term storage or when indoor storage is
not available, the motor must be covered with
plastic or weather-proof tarp. Cover the motor
completely. To ward off the formation of
condensation, do not wrap the motor tightly.
This will allow for adequate ventilation.
Precautions must also be taken to protect the
motor from flooding or being exposed to harmful
chemical vapors.
Ensure that any unpainted sections are covered.
Retouch any scratched or flaked painted areas.
If condensate plugs or drain plugs are used,
ensure that they are functional.
Whether indoors or outdoors, the area should be
free from vibration. Excessive vibration can
cause bearing damage. Any motor which must
