5. Storage
General:
The following items must be taken into account when storing the gear units:
■ In general, the drive units must be stored in closed rooms.
■ Ambient temperature max. 25 °C (77 °F)
■ Relative humidity max. 80 %
■ The drive units are to be protected from exposure to the sun or UV light.
■ No aggressive or corrosive materials are to be stored in the vicinity of the unit.
■ The gear units are to be stored in the same position that is intended for a later use.
■ The gear units are to be rotated 1-2 revolutions on the output side every 6 months to ensure that the interior parts are
wetted with lubricant.
■ The units are to be protected from mechanical loads and exposure to outside forces.
Long-term storage:
■ When the gear units are to be stored for longer than 12 months, they must be completely lled with lubricant as stated
on the nameplate or lubricant plate.
■ Unnished, bare-metal parts on the outside of the unit are to be protected with a corrosion protection product
(inspection every 6 months is recommended). The corrosion protection must be replaced after one year.
■ Before starting the gear unit, drain the lubricant from it. If more than one lubricant chamber is present, make certain that
all of the lubricant chambers have been drained out.
■ Gaskets settle, especially after a longer period without loading. Before starting, the screws must be retightened.
■ Then ll the gear unit with the lubricant type specied on the nameplate using the specied quantity.
■ If the gear units are stored for longer than 24 months before being put into service, they must be checked for leaks.
If there are any visible cracks on the surfaces of sealing elements, such parts must be replaced.
