Protection against humidity 
If a dry storage area is not available, then take the following precautions: 
●  Wrap the motor in humidity-absorbent material. Then wrap it in foil so that it is air tight. 
●  Include several bags of desiccant in the sealed packaging. Check the desiccant and 
replace it as required. 
●  Place a humidity meter in the sealed packaging to indicate the level of air humidity 
inside it. 
●  Inspect the motor on a regular basis. 
Protecting the cooling system for motors with integrated cooling 
Before you store the motor after use, perform the following actions: 
●  Empty the cooling channels. 
●  Blow out the cooling ducts with dry, compressed air so that the cooling ducts are 
completely empty. 
●  Seal the connections of the cooling system.
