In addition, fill the gear reducer with an appropriate gear oil to prevent oxidation. When the 

equipment is re-installed, completely drain this gear oil and then refill the reducer to the 

appropriate level.

8.4.3

Electrical

To prevent oxidation, place a desiccant or moisture removal material in all electrical junction 

boxes and component cabinets. This includes the load cell junction box, the integrator cabinet, 

and the motor speed controller enclosure (if present).

8.4.4

Lubrication

Grease all greasable points.

8.4.5

Belt care

Reduce belt tension to a minimum to prevent belt damage and re-adjust belt tension at re-

installation.

Note
Do NOT store the weighfeeder in direct sunlight, as this will cause premature breakdown of the 

belt.
