Initial Inspection
Check the RESCUE
®
EZ13 motor to verify the following:
The shaft spins freely by hand.
The nameplate information conforms to the specifications of the motor ordered.
The RESCUE
®
EZ13 motor may look visually different than the motor it is replacing. The external appearance
is not an exact replica of the motor it is replacing. However, when properly installed, the motor will fit in the
blower housing and function according to specifications.
Handling and Care
The motor should be stored indoors in a clean, dry location. Proper selection, installation, and maintenance will
assure longer life and more dependable service.
Use only specially designed motors where explosive atmospheric hazards exist. See the National Electrical
Code (NEC) Article 500 or check with local codes for explanation of hazardous or classified atmospheres and
locations. Unless the motor is specifically marked “ELECTRIC MOTOR FOR HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS,” it is
not suitable for use in Class I or II hazardous locations as defined by the NEC.
Use motors only in the applications for which they are designed.
The RESCUE
®
EZ13 motor is designed for direct-drive centrifugal blower applications only.
The RESCUE
®
EZ13 motor is designated for continuous, air-over duty, and must be mounted in the air
stream of an air moving device, such as a fan. Do not operate the RESCUE
®
EZ13 motor outside of the air
stream as that may overheat and damage the motor.
Temperature around the motor should not exceed 104°F (40°C) or be less than -20°F (-29°C).
