Protection against humidity
If a dry storage space is not available, protect the machine as follows against humidity:
● Wrap the machine in humidity-absorbent material.
● Wrap the machine in plastic film:
– Place a humidity meter inside the plastic film.
– Place desiccant within the plastic film.
– Pack the machine air-tight.
● Inspect the machine regularly.
NOTICE
Improper storage or transport
Damage to bearings can result from improper storage or transport.
● On machines that have been supplied with a rotor shipping brace, secure the rotor as per
the notes on transportation (Page 39).
● Protect the motor against strong radial shocks and vibration when storing, as the rotor
shipping brace cannot completely absorb these forces.
● If the customer has already mounted parts, such as a coupling or belt pulley, the bearings
can be damaged during transport. In this case, make sure that the customer uses a rotor
locking device.
WARNING
Risk of explosion due to damaged sealing materials
Storing the machine at temperatures that do not fall within the specified limits can damage the
material of the seals and cause them to fail. As a result, a potentially explosive gaseous
atmosphere can enter the machine and be ignited during commissioning. Explosions can
occur. This can result in death, serious injury or material damage.
The materials used are specially designed for the temperature range required by the
customer. Do not store the machine in conditions that lie outside the specified temperature
limits. The relevant temperature limits are specified on the rating plate.
Long-term storage
If you are storing a machine for more than six months, you must check its condition every six
months. Store the machine in accordance with the specifications in Section "Storage
(Page 41)", and if possible, packed.
● Check the motor for damage.
● Carry out any necessary maintenance work.
