You have to reduce the voltage by a factor 50/60 to avoid saturation in the active iron of the motor. Accordingly the available max load of the motor is reduced by (50/60)^2. Nevertheless the actual load of the motor is defind by the requirements of the driven machine (pump, elevator, etc). The nominal speed of the motor is reducet too.

The 10 Hz isn't going to hurt it, only make it spin a bit faster. but I'd be worried about the 80 volt hike in tension. That's about a 20% overvoltage which the motor might not be able to stand for longer durations.
