1. To avoid excessive wear or dive time on the motor for the -AGx models, use a controller and/or software that provides a time-out function to remove the signal at
the end of rotation (stall). The -GGx and -IGx models have an auto shutoff to avoid excessive wear or drive time on the motor.

The performance specifications are nominal and conform to acceptable industry standards. For applications at conditions beyond these specifications, consult the local Johnson Controls office.
