3.3 Storage
Danger of property damage
Improper handling during transport and storage can cause damage.

and document this to maintain the manufacturer's warranty
If the motor is exposed to external influences such as temperature fluctuations,
humidity, aggressive chemicals, etc. during storage, damage can occur inside
the motor, in the roller bearings, in the terminal box and in the winding;
the components oxidise, the grease ages and the insulation resistance drops to
an inadmissible value
3.3.1 Ambient conditions

an ambient temperature above 5 °C. If other conditions apply, please contact
Schabmüller GmbH.
