In case the device and/or its components are to be stored and preserved for a certain period of time, in a closed
and dry material at room temperature of (5 -40°C) before re-commissioning them, in order to avoid damages
or deterioration check that the electrical mechanisms and the structure are not damaged; avoid scratching the

-
tion, ensure the “Permitted use” indications are complied with.
Before reusing the Lump Breaking Feeder Valve after a long shut-down, proceed as described below:
For all fabricated parts:
- remove lubricants or antioxidant protection;
- clear the grease from the coupling bores threading;
- clean the coupling surfaces;
- repair the possible damages the structures might have suffered (corners bent, scratched surfaces, peeled
paint etc.).
As regards the mechanisms:
- check the possible lubricant leakages and replace the worn seals;
- check the proper tightening of the bolted couplings;
- remove lubricants or antioxidant protection;
- remove rust traces from the sliding accessories of the controls;
- lubricate the unpainted mechanical components;
- remove water residues that may be present inside the concave parts of the structure or mechanisms.
