3.2 Konexio elektrikoak

This motor operates on single-phase power at either 115V or 230V. Refer to the wiring diagram located on the motor's nameplate or inside the terminal box cover for correct connections. Ensure the voltage selected matches your power supply. Use appropriately sized wiring and circuit protection (fuses or circuit breakers) as per electrical codes and motor specifications.

• For 115V operation, connect according to the 115V diagram.
• For 230V operation, connect according to the 230V diagram.
• Always ensure proper grounding of the motor frame.

3.3 Shaft Alignment

Proper alignment of the motor shaft with the driven equipment is crucial to prevent premature bearing wear and vibration. Use a precision alignment tool if possible. The motor shaft is 5/8 inches in diameter.
