NOTICE
Damage to roller bearings
Roller bearings can be damaged when kept in the same or almost the same position.
Every three months, manually rotate the rotor through five revolutions. Make sure that the
resting position of the roller bearings after the rotor has been turned is different from what
it previously had been. Use the feather key as a reference point, if present.
4. Replace the corrosion protection.
5. Reattach the rotor shipping brace, if present.
6. Pack the machine again.
4.18.2 Protecting the cooling water circuit during storage
When supplied, the machine is not filled with cooling water.
Protecting the cooling circuit against corrosion
You protect the cooling circuit against corrosion when the machine has already been in
operation and is then placed in storage or put out of operation.
1. Completely drain the cooling ducts. Blow out the cooling water ducts with compressed air.
1. Close and seal the intake and discharge.
4.18.3 Protection against corrosion
If the machine is stored in dry conditions, then apply the subsequently listed anti-corrosion
measures:
● Storage up to six months:
Apply a coat of corrosion protective compound to all accessible bare metal parts such as the
exposed shaft extension, flange or machine feet.
● Storage for longer than six months:
Apply a coat of long-term anti-corrosion agent to all accessible bare parts.
● Inspect the machine regularly and if necessary, apply an additional coating of corrosion
protection.
Document all preservation measures taken so that they can be reversed before the machines
