Storage
DANGER
Danger from fluids hazardous to health!
Risk of fatal injury if the mixer is used in fluids hazardous to health.
• Decontaminate the mixer after dismantling and before carrying out any other
work.
• Observe the specifications provided by work regulations. The operator must
make sure that personnel have received and read work regulations.
CAUTION
Total damage due to moisture ingress
The ingress of moisture into the drive unit will result in total damage! Ensure the
drive unit is sealed watertight during storage. Prevent condensation from forming!
The storage location must be overflow-proof. Observe information in the manufac-
turer’s instructions!
CAUTION
Material damage to the drive unit
If the product is stored in environments with high humidity (e.g. maritime or tropical
environments), severe rusting can damage the gear. In such environmental condi-
tions, simply moving the propeller on a regular basis is no longer sufficient. In such
cases, add an oil-soluble concentrate with anti-rust additives (concentration approx.
2 %) to the gear oil. For further information, consult the manufacturer’s instructions!
Newly supplied mixers can be stored for 2 years. Consult customer service before stor-
ing the mixer for more than 2 years.
