Pacemaker danger − Magnetic and electromagnetic fields in the vicinity of current carrying
WARNING:
carrying conductors and permanent magnet motors can result result in a serious health hazard to
persons with cardiac pacemakers, metal implants, and hearing aids. To avoid risk, stay way from
the area surrounding a permanent magnet motor.
WARNING:
Incorrect motor rotation direction can cause serious or fatal injury or equipment damage. Be sure
to verify motor rotation direction before coupling the load to the motor shaft.
WARNING:
Do not use non UL/CSA listed explosion proof motors in the presence of flammable or
combustible vapors or dust. These motors are not designed for atmospheric conditions that
require explosion proof operation.
WARNING:
Motors that are to be used in flammable and/or explosive atmospheres must display the UL label
on the nameplate along with CSA listed logo. Specific service conditions for these motors are
defined in NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 500.
WARNING:
UL Listed motors must only be serviced by UL Approved Authorized Baldor Service Centers if
these motors are to be returned to a hazardous and/or explosive atmosphere.
WARNING:
Thermostat contacts automatically reset when the motor has slightly cooled down. To prevent
injury or damage, the control circuit should be designed so that automatic starting of the motor is
not possible when the thermostat resets.
Caution:
To prevent equipment damage, be sure that the electrical service is not capable of delivering more
than the maximum motor rated amps listed on the rating plate.
Caution:
If a HI POT test (High Potential Insulation test) must be performed, follow the precautions and
procedure in NEMA MG1 and MG2 standards to avoid equipment damage.
Caution:
Never raise or lower the motor/pump by the power cords. Use lifting eyes provided in the motor
casting (opposite drive end) and attache a cord/cable to lift the weight of the motor and pump.
Failure to lift this motor properly may seriously damage the lead connections and water seals and
seriously damage the motor.
If you have any questions or are uncertain about any statement or procedure, or if you require additional
information please contact your Baldor District Office or an Authorized Baldor Service Center.
