Storage of packages
Fig. 9: Ensure protective storage
Fig. 10: Do not store vertically
Only store packages under the following conditions:
Do not store outdoors.
Store in a dry and dust-free location.
Do not expose to aggressive media.
If stacking, use stable intermediate layers.
Protect from direct sunlight.
Avoid mechanical vibration.
Storage temperature: >5° C (>41° F) to 40° C (104° F).
Relative humidity: < 65 %.
Do not store vertically.
For longer periods of storage (> 2 months) regularly check the
general status of the packages. Touch up or re-apply anti-
corrosion agents as needed.
The anti-corrosion protection period is 12 months, if the
aforementioned storage requirements are observed. We recommend
to re-apply the preservation after 12 months.
Please refer to tab. 1 below for anti-corrosion agents.

Tab. 1
Long-term preservation is possible for storages which are planned for
several years and can already be discussed during the technical
consultation. Re-application of anti-corrosion agents as well as initial
greasing can be performed by our customer service (
page 2) prior
to operation.
Greased slew drives shall not be stored for a longer period than 3
years. Greases can change their chemical-physical behaviour
during storage. Grease provisions can be diminished by a storage
period of more than 3 years. The storage of slew drives shall not
exceed 1 year if food lubricants are used.
Under certain circumstances storage instructions are affixed to the
packages that go beyond the requirements cited here. Comply
with these instructions accordingly.
