If the second shaft extension is not used: 
●  Carefully secure the feather key to prevent it from being thrown out, and for balancing 
type "H" (standard type), ensure its weight is reduced to approximately 60 % of the 
original value. 
●  Using covers, carefully secure the unused shaft extension so that it cannot be touched. 
Risk of losing the IP degree of protection as a result of damaged shaft sealing rings 
This can result in death, serious injury, or material damage. 
●  Replace damaged components immediately. 
●  Rotate the rotor to ensure that it does not touch the stator. 
●  Ensure that the bearing insulation is not bridged/jumpered. 
●  Using the appropriately designed and adjusted control and speed monitoring functions 
ensure that the permissible speeds specified on the rating plate cannot be exceeded. 
●  Ensure that any supplementary equipment used to monitor the motor is correctly 
connected and is functioning. 
●  Carefully check the grounding and potential bonding connections. 
●  Connect the machine corresponding to the specified direction of rotation. 
●  Using the appropriate open-loop control and speed monitoring functions, carefully ensure 
that no higher speeds can be achieved than are permitted and specified in the technical 
data. For this purpose, compare the data on the rating plate or, if necessary, the system-
specific documentation. 
●  Comply with the minimum insulation resistances. 
●  Comply with the minimum air clearances. 
●  Correctly connect possibly available machine monitoring devices and equipment - and 
carefully ensure that they are functioning correctly. 
●  Check the correct functioning of the brakes or backstops. 
●  Set the values for "Alarm" and "Shutdown" at the monitoring devices. 
●  Carefully ensure that temperature-sensitive parts and components, e.g. cables are not in 
contact with the machine enclosure. 
●  If the motor design requires connection to a specific converter type, carefully check the 
supplementary data on the rating plate/supplementary plate. 
●  Carefully ensure that the converter is correctly parameterized. The parameterization data 
is specified on the rating plate of the machine. Information about the parameters is 
available in the operating instructions for the converter.
