What is proper way to terminate a motor?

To properly terminate a motor, first, ensure that the power supply is turned off and locked out to prevent accidental reactivation. Next, disconnect the motor leads from the power source, following the appropriate electrical safety protocols. If necessary, use a multimeter to confirm that the motor is not energized before proceeding with any maintenance or removal. Finally, if the motor is being replaced, follow manufacturer guidelines for disconnection and installation of the new motor.
