8.6.1 Avoidance of damage to rolling bearings during stoppages
Extended stoppages at the identical or almost identical resting position of the rotor in the rolling 
bearings can result in damage, such as brinelling or corrosion.
• During stoppages, regularly start up the machine for a brief period once a month. As a 
minimum, turn the rotor several times.
If you have uncoupled the machine from the driven machine and secured the rotor with a 
rotor shipping brace, then remove this before turning the rotor over or starting up the 
machine.
Make sure that the resting position of the rotor after the rotor has been turned over is 
dierent from its previous position. Use the tted key or the coupling halves as reference 
markers.
• When recommissioning, carefully comply with the information in Chapter "Commissioning 
(Page79)".
8.6.2 Decommissioning the machine
• Record the decommissioning steps. This log will be useful upon recommissioning.
• If the machine is going to be out of service for longer than six months, then take the 
necessary measures for preservation and storage. Otherwise, the machine could be 
damaged as a result of not being operated.
8.6.3 Re-commissioning the machine
When you re-commission the machine, proceed as follows:
• Study the record made when the machine was decommissioned, and reverse the measures 
that were taken for conservation and storage.
• Perform the measures listed in Chapter "Commissioning (Page79)".
8.7 faults
8.7.1 Inspections in the event of faults
Natural disasters or unusual operating conditions, such as overloading or short circuit, are faults 
that overload the machine electrically or mechanically.
Immediately perform an inspection after such faults.
Correct the cause of the fault as described in the respective remedial measures section. Repair 
any damage to the machine.
