8.1 Extended storage
The lubricant of those gear units is then mixed with a VCI anti-corrosion agent (volatile
corrosion inhibitors). Please note that this VCI anti-corrosion agent is only effective in a
temperature range of -25 °C to +50 °C. The flange contact surfaces and shaft ends are
also treated with an anti-corrosion agent.
Observe the storage conditions specified in the following table for extended storage:
8.1.1 Storage conditions
The gear units must remain tightly sealed until taken into operation to prevent the VCI
corrosion protection agent from evaporating.
The gear units come with the oil fill according to the specified mounting position (M1 –
M6). Check the oil level before you start operating the gear unit for the first time.
INFORMATION
For storage periods longer than 9 months, SEW-EURODRIVE recommends the
"Extended storage" variant. Gear units in this design are designated with a corre-
sponding label.
