Guidelines for Torque-Arm Reducer 

Long-Term Storage

During periods of long storage, or when waiting for delivery or 
installation of other equipment, special care should be taken 
to protect a gear reducer to have it ready to be in the best 
condition when placed in service.

By taking special precautions, problems such as seal leakage 
and reducer failure due to the lack of lubrication, improper 
lubrication quantity, or contamination can be avoided. The 
following precautions will protect gear reducers during periods 
of extended storage:

Preparation

1.  Drain the oil from the unit. Add a vapor phase corrosion 

inhibiting oil (VCI-105 oil by Daubert Chemical Co.) in  
accordance with Table 4.

2.  Seal the unit air tight.
3.  Cover the shaft extension with a waxy rust preventative 

compound that will keep oxygen away from the bare metal. 
(Non-Rust X-110 by Daubert Chemical Co.)

4.  The instruction manuals and lubrication tags are paper 

and must be kept dry. Either remove these documents 
and store them inside or cover the unit with a durable 
waterproof cover which will keep moisture away.

5.  Protect the reducer from dust, moisture, and other 

contaminants by storing the unit in a dry area.

6.  In a damp environment, the reducer should be packed 

inside a moisture-proof container or an envelope of 
polyethylene containing a desiccant material. If the reducer 
is to be stored outdoors, cover the entire exterior with a 
rust preventative.

When Placing the Reducer into Service

1.  Clean the shaft extensions with petroleum solvents.
2.  Fill the unit to the proper oil level using a recommended 

lubricant. The VCI oil will not affect the new lubricant.

3.  Follow the installation instructions provided in this manual.
