UNPACKING
Make sure the motor is intact and there are no loose parts. If the motor is not intact, contact
Harbor Freight Tools at the number on the front cover for motor replacement. Do not use or
install any motor that has shipping damage.
MOUNTING THE MOTOR
The ambient air temperature where the motor is to be installed cannot exceed 104°F. If it
does, cooling must be provided to ensure the temperature stays within 104°F.
Do not allow the air vents to become blocked when locating the motor.
This motor should be installed indoors, in a clean dry and non-corrosive environment. There
must be no flammables or flammable gasses present.
The height of the four feet under the motor must be within .010" of each other. If the base to
which you are mounting the motor prevents this, use shims to achieve this specification.
Make sure all mounting hardware is securely fastened.
When connecting the direct drive shaft, make sure it is properly aligned or motor life will be
significantly shortened.
