General instructions for storage
Wherever possible, store the machine in a storage room. The place of storage must satisfy
the following general conditions:
● Select a sufficiently sized dry and horizontal place of storage that is above flood level and
free of vibration (v
eff
≤ 0.2 mm/s).
– The place of storage must be well ventilated as well as free of dust and frost. Provide
protection against extreme weather conditions. Ensure that the temperature remains
stable in the range from 10 °C to 50 °C – or 50 °F to 120 °F. If there is a risk of
condensation, the room temperature should be approx. 10 K above the outside
temperature. The temperature should not fall below ‑20° C.
– The relative humidity of the air should be less than 60%.
– The floor of the place of storage must be sufficiently strong. The maximum permissible
floor loading or storage compartment loading may not be exceeded.
– The ambient air must not contain any harmful gases.
● Protect the machine from shocks and humidity.
● Position machines, devices and crates on pallets, wooden beams or foundations that
protect them against rising damp and water.
● Ensure that the air circulation under the equipment is not impeded.
– Place wooden spacer blocks between the covers and the machine.
– Covers or tarpaulins must not trail on the floor around the machine.
Storing outdoors
When storing the machines outside, the storage location must comply with the following
conditions:
● The ground must be sufficiently strong. Prevent the machine from sinking into the ground.
● Covers or tarpaulins used to protect the equipment against the weather must not make
contact with the surfaces of the equipment. Otherwise air circulation under the stored items
will be prevented.
Protection against humidity
If a dry storage space is not available, protect the machine as follows against humidity:
● Wrap the machine in humidity-absorbent material.
● Wrap the machine in plastic film:
– Place a humidity meter inside the plastic film.
– Place desiccant within the plastic film.
– Pack the machine air-tight.
● Inspect the machine regularly.
