Guidelines for Installation
Observe the following for installing the motor:
1. Allow sufficient clearance around the motor to keep it within its
specified operating temperature range. Refer to Receiving and 
Maintenance Information on page 2 for operating range. Do not 
enclose the motor unless forced air is blown across the motor for 
cooling. A fan blowing air across the motor will improve its 
performance. Keep other heat-producing devices away from the motor.
2. Refer to Mounting Dimensions on page 9 to determine the mounting
dimensions of your motor.
3. Place the motor with connectors pointing downward.
4. Properly mount and align the motor.
5. Attach all power and encoder cables after the motor is mounted, and
use a drip loop in the cable to keep liquids flowing away from the 
connectors. 
ATTENTION
!
Outer surfaces of motor can reach high 
temperatures, 100° C (212° F) during motor 
operation.
Take precautions to prevent accidental contact with 
hot surfaces. Consider motor surface temperature 
when selecting motor mating connections and 
cables.
Failure to observe these safety procedures could 
result in personal injury or equipment damage.
