TO STOP THE MOTOR.--Open the main knife switch and let the starting
rheostat take care of itself. The lever will not fly back immediately,
but will hold until the motor has slowed down considerably.
NOTE.--The above directions apply only to starters of the sliding contact
type.
TEMPERATURES.--If located as instructed above, these motors will carry
full load as indicated on the name plate on the motor with a temperature
rise of not over 40 degrees Centigrade, or 75 degrees Fahrenheit above
the surrounding air. This will feel hot to the hand but is far below the
danger point. If the motor feel too hot, get a thermometer and measure
the temperature. To do this, place the bulb of the thermometer for 10
minutes against the frame, cover with a cloth or piece of waste, and note
temperature as compared with that of room. If the motor run in a small,
enclosed space with no ventilation, the temperatures will be somewhat
higher than those given above.
OILING.--Fill the oil wells to the overflow before starting and keep them
full. Use good "dynamo oil." Be sure that the oil rings turn freely while
the motor is running. If in a dirty place, draw off the old fluid and fill
with new every two or three months.
CARE OF MOTOR.--The motor must be kept clean. If the commutator become
rough, smooth it up with No. 00 sandpaper moistened with oil. When fitting
new brushes or changing them, always sandpaper them down until they fit
the commutator perfectly, by passing to and fro beneath the brush a strip
of sandpaper, having the rough side toward the brush.
Brushes must _always_ be renewed before the metal of the holder comes in
contact with the commutator.
Don't use anything on commutator except good mineral machine oil, or
kerosene, and this only in very small quantities applied with a cloth
having no lint or threads.]
