U-BATCH™ TREATER
Storage
Section
I
When storing the U-
Batch™ Treater for long periods of time, the following procedure
must be followed to reduce the chance of rust, corrosion and fatigue of the conveyor.
You can also use these steps when storing the machine for the winter.
1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children.
2. Thoroughly wash the entire machine to remove all dirt, mud, debris or residue.
3. Inspect all moving or rotating parts to see if anything has become entangled in
them. Remove the entangled material.
4. Lubricate all grease fittings. Make sure that all grease cavities have been filled with
grease to remove any water residue from the washing. This also protects the
bearing seals.
5. Remove drive assembly covers. Clean entire area and ensure drive belts are clean
and free of debris.
6. Touch up all paint nicks and scratches to prevent rusting.
7. Store the machine inside a protective building to keep it from being exposed to the
weather. Select an area that is dry, level and free of debris. If storing outside,
cover with a waterproof tarpaulin.
8. Store machine in an area away from human activity.
9. Do not allow children to play on or around the stored machine.
A dust mask and protective rubber gloves shall be used when
cleaning the machine.
