All components should be
stored indoors
. The
area of storage should be kept at a constant
temperature above 55º F (13º C) and relative
humidity of approximately 40%, free from
heavy dust and contaminants
Outdoor storage is
not
recommended. Our
warranty policy does not cover damage as a
result of improper storage.
Except for placing the parts container (crate)
and bracing on the empty carriage, stacking
of the various gate components is strictly
forbidden. Enclosure and gate panels will
warp. Objects stacked on top of the columns,
drivebase assembly and/or hydraulic
cylinders may cause severe damage. See
Figure 18-2.
Storage for more than two months after
shipment, will require that the following
maintenance procedures be performed every
sixty days from date of shipment:
1. If
roller chains
are stored for an extended
period of time or in a corrosive
environment, they must be dipped or
stored in a non-detergent oil to retain their
original condition.
2. Lightly coat the
sprockets
with a non-
detergent oil to prevent corrosion.
3. Lubricate the
safety cams
with a non-
detergent oil and rotate to make sure the
safety cams move freely. See Figure 18-3.
4. Elevate the
drivebase assemblies
off the
ground and cover with a tarp. Allow
adequate ventilation to minimize
condensation. Protect all exposed or
unpainted shaft and flange surfaces with
an anti-corrosion agent or grease. Store in
a location free from shock and vibration,
to avoid false brinelling of the bearing
elements and raceways.
