4.9 Before a long-term shut-down of the separator
•
Thoroughly clean the separator (see sect. 4.3.2 and 4.3.3).
•
Dry and grease the clean bowl parts and all unvarnished machine parts to
avoid corrosion damage.
•
Store the clean, greased bowl in a dry place until reuse.
•
Store the gaskets in a cool, dry, dust-free dark room to prevent them from be-
coming brittle.
•
Take off the drive belt.
•
Check if the shut-off valves for water leak.
•
If necessary, disconnect the water lines to prevent damage by dripping water.
Preserving the separator:
•
Drain the lube oil.
•
Fill the drive chamber with a slushing oil, e.g. Shell oil S.7294 (SAE 30/SAE
50), to the middle of the sight glass.
•
Let the separator run without bowl for approx. 1 minute to make sure that all
drive parts are coated with slushing oil.
