Damage can occur if incorrectly stored. 
Take all precautions to protect the motor under extreme climatic conditions, e.g. 
salt-laden and/or dusty, moist/humid atmospheres. 
Choose a dry storage location which is safe from flooding and free from vibration. 
Repair any damage to the packaging before putting the equipment into storage if this 
is necessary to ensure proper storage conditions. In order to ensure protection 
against ground moisture, locate machines, equipment and crates on pallets, wooden 
beams or foundations. Prevent equipment from sinking into the ground. Do not 
impede air circulation under the stored items. 
Covers or tarpaulins used to protect the equipment against the weather must not 
come into contact with the surfaces of the equipment. Use wooden spacer elements 
to ensure that air can circulate freely around the equipment. 
Storing indoors 
The storage rooms must provide protection against extreme weather conditions. 
They must be dry, free from dust, frost and vibration and well ventilated. 
Bare metal surfaces 
For transport, the bare surfaces (shaft ends, flange surfaces, centering edges) 
should be coated with an anti-corrosion agent which will last for a limited amount of 
time (<6 months). Apply suitable anti-corrosion measures for longer storage times.  
Condensation drain hole 
Open any condensation drain holes to drain the condensation depending on the 
environmental conditions, every six months at the latest.
