6.7 Drain holes

When the motor is installed in moist surroundings or
areas with high humidity, the bottom drain hole must
be open. The enclosure class of the motor will then
be lower. This helps prevent condensation in the
motor as the motor becomes self-venting, and it
allows water and humid air to escape.
The motor has a plugged drain hole on the drive
side. You can turn the flange 90 ° to both sides or
180 °.
