6.2 STORAGE
If the geared unit or geared motor will be stored up to 3 years refer to the following instructions;
With Packing;
Use corrosion protection oil for the output shaft and connection surfaces like flange surface or foot assembling surface. Seal
the unit in a plastic wrap and pack it in container. A moisture indicator should be placed around the container to observe the
moisture. Relative atmospheric humidity should not exceed 50%. The container should be kept under roof which protects from
snow and rain. Under this condition the gear unit can be stored up to 3 year with regular check. The ambient temperature should
be between -5 to 60 ºC.
Without Packing;
Use protection oil for the output shaft and connection surfaces like flange surface or foot assembling surface. If no packing is
used and the gearbox is stored without packing, the ambient temperature should be between 5 to 60 ºC. The gearbox must be
kept under enclosed roof with constant temperature and constant humidity not exceeding 50%. The storage should be free of
dust and dirt and ventilated with filter. If the gearbox is stored without packing it is recommended not to store more than 2 years
and regular check during this time is recommended.
If stored in open protect against insect damage.
