Before fully lifting the gearboxes/geared motor make sure that the load is properly balanced. All handling of
the gearbox/geared motor must be carried out in a gentle manner to avoid impacts and damage especially
to the shaft ends.
4 Storage
WEG-CESTARI products (gearboxes, geared motors, parts, and parts) must be stored in their original
packaging in a closed environment (not directly exposed to sunlight or UV rays), dry, protected against insects,
free of dust, air humidity below 60%, free of gases, fungi, corrosive agents (contaminated air, ozone, gases,
solvents, acids, alkaline, salts, radioactivity, etc) and ambient temperature between -5ºC to +40ºC.
WEG-CESTARI gearboxes must be stored in the specified and supplied working position, on a flat surface on
platforms or appropriate shelves (not in direct contact with the floor) and not in a place with vibration and
oscillations.
4.1 No operation period
WEG-CESTARI gearboxes/motors leave the factory and must be put into operation within a maximum
period of 6 months.
For periods of 6 months to 9 months without operation, it is recommended to fill the entire interior of the gear
unit with appropriate lubricants (see chapter Lubricants). Fill the reducer with oil up to the top (just below the
vent), thus ensuring that all its gears and bearings are immersed in oil. The input shaft of the reducer must
be rotated at least two complete turns and this procedure must be repeated at least once every 2 months.
NOTE:
For the appropriate lubricant volume, refer to chapter "Lubrication".
Protect the retainers externally with grease and apply a thin layer of grease to the external surface to prevent
drying out. The grease should be removed before starting operation (recommended grease NLGI#2EP
Texaco Multifak EP2 or similar).
4.2 Long-term Storage
The following are guidelines for cases of long-term storage or shutdown, i.e., more than 9 months without
operation. These guidelines are recommended for the storage of up to 2 years. If the relative humidity of
the air is less than 50%, the WEG-CESTARI product can be stored for up to 3 years.
Since there may be influences on the gearbox depending on local conditions, the time indications may vary
from those mentioned above.
If in doubt, contact WEG-CESTARI.
