3. When stored for longer than two years, lubricate with twice the grease quantity in
accordance with the lubricant plate. This ensures that the grease is evenly distributed and
covers all surfaces. Corrosion damage is avoided.
NOTICE
Damage to roller bearings
Roller bearings can be damaged when kept in the same or almost the same position.
Every three months, manually rotate the rotor through five revolutions. Make sure that the
resting position of the roller bearings after the rotor has been turned is different from what
it previously had been. Use the feather key as a reference point, if present.
4. Replace the corrosion protection.
5. Reattach the rotor shipping brace, if present.
6. Pack the machine again.
4.8.9 Protection against corrosion
If the machine is stored in dry conditions, then apply the subsequently listed anti-corrosion
measures:
● Storage up to six months:
Apply a coat of corrosion protective compound to all accessible bare metal parts such as
the exposed shaft extension, flange or machine feet.
● Storage for longer than six months:
Apply a coat of anti-corrosion compound which provides long-term protection, e.g.
Tectyl 506.
● Inspect the machine regularly and apply an additional coating of corrosion protection if
necessary.
Document all preservation measures taken so that they can be reversed before the machines
are put back into service.
