Location
Allow enough clearance for accessory installation and motor 
servicing when selecting a location (see Fig. 1). If located 
outdoors, use liquid-tight conduit connectors with the junction 
box to provide NEMA 3 weather protection. If mounted 
outdoors in a position other than upright, install a 4074ERU 
Weatherproofing Kit and liquid-tight connectors to provide 
NEMA 3 protection.
CAUTION
Motor Damage Hazard.
Deteriorating vapors and acid fumes can damage 
metal parts.
Install motor in areas free of acid fumes and other 
deteriorating vapors.
In excessive salt environments, mounting base and screws 
should be zinc or cadmium plated, not stainless steel or brass. 
Use the 220738A Adapter Bracket for mounting on these 
surfaces.
Mounting
Use the following guidelines for proper motor mounting:
• Always install motors with the crankshaft horizontal.
• Mounting flanges extending from motor housing base are 
drilled for 1/4 inch (6.4 mm) machine screws or bolts.
• Non-Spring Return Motors are shipped from the factory in 
the closed position (at the counterclockwise rotation limit, 
as viewed from the motor power end).
• Spring Return Motors are shipped from the factory in their 
normal position.
• Normally closed models are shipped at the counterclockwise 
rotation limit, as viewed from the motor power end.
• Normally open models are shipped at the clockwise 
rotation limit, as viewed from the motor power end.
