4.5.2 Storage
Storing outdoors
NOTICE
Damage to the motor
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 ooding 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, ange 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.
