Section VIII — Storage Procedures
8.1 SPARE PARTS STORAGE
1. On receipt of spare parts, unpack and spray or dip the
parts in a rust preventative such as Mobilarma 524, or
equivalent.
2. Place parts on a wood pallet in a dry place. Cover
loosely with plastic, DO NOT wrap or store parts in
news print as it is corrosive.
3. Re-spray parts every six months. Spray parts every
three months if high humidity exists.
4. If rust develops, remove rust with a medium grit emery
cloth and re-spray with rust preventative.
5. When ready to install parts, make sure all parts rotate
freely. Clean all grime from the parts before installation.
8.2 STORED AND INACTIVE REDUCERS
1. Preparation For Storage
A. If a reducer is to be stored or is inactive after
installation; fill the reducer with the correct type and
amount of lubricant. For drives that have oil installed,
add Nox-Rust VCI-10
vaper-phase rust inhibitor at
the rate of 2% of sump capacity. For drives without
oil, add Nox-Rust VCI-10 vapor-phase rust inhibitor
at the rate of one ounce per cubic foot of internal
drive space. Seal the reducer completely; replace
the vent plug with a solid pipe plug to keep rust
inhibiting atmosphere sealed inside.
B. After approximately three months, rotate the input shaft
such that the output shaft rotates a full 360°. This will
insure that all internal parts will remain coated and
will also keep the bearings from becoming lacquered.
Noncompliance with this procedure may cause
bearing damage during start-up.
C. Every six months inspect the stored or inactive
reducer and add Nox-Rust VCI-10
if necessary.
Dry, indoor storage is recommended.
WARNING
: Nox-Rust VCI-10
is not H1 registered
with the NSF(National Sanitation Foundation) as
suitable for food processing applications. When
Food Grade Lubricants are to be used, it is the end
users responsibility to properly flush and prepare
the drive for Food Grade service. Contact the
lubricant manufacturer for specific information and
flushing procedures.
Product of the Daubert Chemical Company, Chicago, Illinois.
2. Preparation For Start-up
Rotate shafts until the bearings move freely. This is to
assure that the bearings have not become lacquered.
Reducer may be operated without draining the lubricant
described in
Section 8.2-A
.
8.3 LONG TERM STORAGE
Reducer can be ordered from the factory prepared for
long term storage. Field preparation for long-term storage
is described in
Section 8.2
.
WARNING
: The rust preventative oil from the factory
and Nox-Rust VCI-10
are not H1 registered with the
NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) as suitable for food
processing applications. When Food Grade Lubricants are
to be used, it is the end users responsibility to properly
flush and prepare the drive for Food Grade service.
