Open-Drive Motor Handling/Rigging
Each motor is provided with lifting lugs, welded to the four corners of the motor frame, for
lifting the assembled machine. The motor should always be lifted by using the lifting lugs
located on all four corners of the motor frame. (See Figure 46.)
If the motor is lifted with the top air housing removed, the angle of the lifting slings with the
horizontal should never be less than 45 degrees.
With the exclusion of the TEWAC cooler, the top air housing is provided with 3/4 -10 tapped
holes for lifting devices to be installed in order to remove the air housing from the motor. The top
air housing can be detached by removing the enclosure holddown bolts, located in the inside
corners of the enclosure. These enclosure holddown bolts are accessed through the louver/
screens located on the front and rear end of the machine or through access panels bolted to the
sides of the enclosure.
CAUTION
CAUTION
!
Spreader bars of adequate capacity and number must be used to avoid applying
any pressure against the top air housing with the lifting plugs.
