5.1 Storing the universal joint shaft
If not otherwise specified, the packaging is design for a storage
t
ime of max. 4 weeks.
In case of longer-term storage, heed the following:
Heed ambient conditions of the storage room:
− dry
− frost-free
− relative humidity max. 70%
− even temperature
In case of horizontal storage: place universal joint shaft on
suitable underlay (e.g. of wood) to prevent rolling away.
In case of vertical storage: place universal joint shaft in a
suitable frame (e.g. of wood) to prevent tipping over.
Check bare metal parts for corrosion every 6 weeks. If
necessary, treat parts with anticorrosion agent, e.g. oil or
wax.
Lubricate universal joints at least once a year. Move the
universal joints back and forth on both directions in order to
distribute the grease ( Chapter 9.4, page 61).
Put telescopic section into shortest length at least once a
year and move back and forth in order to distribute the
grease ( Chapter 9.4, page 61).
After a storage period of 18 months before installation, have
the universal joint shafts examined by authorized service
personnel since the seals are subject to aging.
