Ensure that the coat is not damaged!
Any damage may cause failure of the external protective coating and corrosion.
Unless otherwise contractually agreed, the interior preservation is guaranteed for 24 months,
and the exterior preservation for 36 months, provided that storage is in dry, frostfree sheds.
The guarantee period starts on the date of delivery or that of the notice that the item is ready
for shipment.
For longer periods of storage (> 24 months) we advise regular checking and, if necessary, renewal of the
interior and exterior preservation (see items 7.3.1 and 7.3.2).
The output shaft must then be rotated at least one turn to change the position of the rolling element in the
bearings. The input shaft must not be in the same position as before rotation.
This procedure must be repeated and documented every 6 months until startup.
