3.2. Storage
To avoid rust, corrosion, or deterioration of the sealing material, etc., and collapse of stored packing boxes,
store the product in the following location.
• Location where the ambient temperature is between -10°C to 40°C
• Location where the humidity is less than 85% and no condensation occurs
• Location that is not directly affected by wind and rain
• Location that is free from combustible/volatile/corrosive gas or dust.
• Stable location that is free from any danger of collapse
• Location with little vibration
When storing the reduction gears, do not stack too many packing boxes. They may collapse and fall
down, causing injury or damage to the reduction gear.
Store the reduction gear under the same conditions as those before unpacking. If it is left upside
down, it could cause damage to the reduction gear.
Although the reduction gear is coated with rust prevention oil before shipping, it is not designed for
long-term storage. If it is stored for a long period, check the condition of the reduction gear
periodically and perform rust prevention treatment as necessary. If rust occurs, it could cause the
leakage of lubricant or premature damage to the reduction gear.
If the reduction gear is used or operated after it has not been used for a long period of time, confirm
that it is free from rust or corrosion and that the sealing material is free from deformation or cracks
beforehand. If the reduction gear is used without checking these points, it could cause the leakage
of lubricant or premature damage to the reduction gear.
