Storing and Transporting
Storage Location
• Store the unit in a clean, dry area .
•
Do not
store outdoors or in an area with high humidity, dust,
sudden temperature changes, or corrosive gases .
Generally, the Cyclo® BBB4 gearbox is to be stored indoors, in an
ordinary factory or a warehouse . The unit should be sealed,
wrapped in plastic and additionally packed with desiccant .
Desiccant should be replaced periodically to keep the inside
of the box dry . Use of color changing desiccant will aid in
identifying when desiccant should be changed .
Storage Period

Do not
store the unit for longer than 3 months without
following long-term storage procedures recommended by
Sumitomo .
• Consult Sumitomo when storing the unit for more than 3
months . Rust proofing procedures are required .
• Consult Sumitomo when exporting the unit . Rust proofing
procedures may be required .
If the Cyclo® BBB4 gearbox will be inactive for a long period of
time, long-term storage preparation is required to prevent rust
or other degradation to the gearbox .
LONG-TERM STORAGE SPECIFIED WITH ORDER:
If long-term storage is specified at the time of order entry, Shell
VSI Circulating Oil #32 or NP-20 [JIS] equivalent rust preventative
is already sprayed into the Cyclo® BBB4 reducer and the air vent is
replaced with a sealing plug before shipping the reducer from
Sumitomo factory . External machined surfaces are coated with a
suitable NP-19 [JIS] petroleum base corrosion preventative such
as Black Bear Par-Al-Ketone, Houghton Rust Veto 342, Daphne
Ever Coat No .1 or equivalent .
Consult Sumitomo for Long Term Storage procedures:
• Storage without factory preparations
• Ongoing maintenance during storage period
Operation After Storage
Before operating the unit after an extended storage period, flush
unit of rust preventative and ensure that non-metal parts, i .e ., oil
seals, o-rings, air breather, have not deteriorated . Non-metal parts
may deteriorate easily from exposure to ambient conditions (i .e .,
extreme temperatures, UV rays) . Replace deteriorated parts with
new before unit start-up .
After starting the unit, verify that there is no abnormal noise,
vibration, and/or temperature rise . Immediately stop the unit and
call your local distributor, Original Equipment Manufacturer or
Sumitomo directly if you observe any abnormality .
Transporting
•
Do not
stand directly under a unit suspended by a
lifting mechanism . Injury or death may occur if the
unit is dropped .
•
Before lifting the unit
, determine its weight (refer
to catalog, packing list, etc .) and ensure that the
moving equipment will support the unit’s weight .
•
Never hoist or move a unit that exceeds the
moving equipment’s rated capacity
or else
personal injury and/or equipment damage may
occur .
•
Do not
allow the unit to drop or fall while moving .
Always use the eye bolts
attached to the gear
housing (and on motor if supplied) when moving
the unit . After securing the unit to the machine,
remove the moving hooks/straps from the eyebolts .
• In case a unit supplied with oil lubrication
filling by Sumitomo,
do not lift and turn
upside down
or excessive inclination
to prevent oil leakage .
