(iii) Dismantle the motor without using the excessive force, ang without the hammer blows. Care should be taken to seg the rotor does not touch the stator winding overhangs, Tfpos- sible do not open cartridge bearing housings. (iv) Clean dust, dirt, oil and grit from every part of the machine with the help of blower, compressed air hose, bellows orbrushes and then wash with petrol to which a few drops of lubricati oil have been added. The windings may be cleaned by means of carbon tetrachloride. Care being taken to avoid its applica- tion to slip rings and brushes. Carry out visual inspection of all parts for wear or damage, replace worn out or damaged parts. Measure insulation resistance. If low, dry out the windings until correct values are obtained. If necessary re-enamel orre- varnish all the windings and internal parts except the stator bore and rotor iron. Dry rotor and stator winding Reassemble motor without using any excessive force. Tomake sure that machine leads are on the correct terminalsand ever) thing is well tightened. Check the concentricity of the air gap through the air gap holes Ensure that rotor can be rotate freely. Any difficulty in rotating the rotor or unusual noise should be taken as sign of inter ence between stationary and moving parts. Investigate" ___ and eliminate the cause of the trouble. (ix) Check insulation resistance again. (x) Recommission the motor as described earlier. 10.9 PREVENTIVE MAINTEN. Preventive maintena (v) (vi) (vii) (viii) ANCE SCHEDULEE aa eee 10.11 .
