Remove the protective rust preventative using turpentine or paraffin. Do not use any solvent, 
petrol,  or  gas  oil,  which  might  dull  the  paint  or  oxidise  the  paintwork.  Lightly  oil  cleaned 
surfaces to prevent rusting. 
 

2.2 Storage 

 
Keep the machine sealed in its original packaging until required for assembly/installation and 
be sure to observe the machine handling advice on the outside of the packaging. 
Store under the following conditions: 

• Store indoors in a dry and dust

-free environment. 

• Do not expose to toxic substances or direct 

sunlight. 

  Store  in  ambient  temperatures  and  ensure  environment  is  not  damp;  avoid  exposure  to 

condensation. 

• If stor

ing for a period of several weeks, apply a coat of oil to all machine parts that might 

rust before storing and check condition before operating for the first time after being in long-
term storage.  
 

2.3 Disposal 

 
If  disposing  of  the  machine,  separate  all  components  into  piles  of  the  same  material  e.g., 
steel,  to  recycle.  The  main  structure  is  made  of  cast  iron  and  steel  and  can  therefore  be 
safely  dismantled  and recycled.  Always  comply  with  local environmental regulations  when 
disposing of machinery. 
 

Be  aware  of  your  environmental  obligations.  Carefully  consider  the  disposal  of 
any electrical components e.g., motors, starters, and ensure any lubricants etc. 
are  treated  as  hazardous  waste  and  disposed  of  safely  in  accordance  with 
environmental laws
