The storage location must be vibration- and shock-free.
The free shaft ends, sealing elements and ange surfaces must have a protective coating.
Do not store the geared motor on the fan cover.
12.3.7.2 General notes for storage up to 36months
Store the gearbox or geared motor in dry, dust-free rooms that are maintained at a constant
temperature. Special packing is then not necessary.
If such premises are not available, pack the gearbox or the geared motor in plastic lm or
air-tight sealed lm and materials. The lms and materials must be able to accept moisture.
Cover them to provide protection against heat, direct sunlight and rain.
The permissible ambient temperature is -25°C to +50°C.
The life of the corrosion protection is 36months from delivery.
12.3.7.3 Gearbox lled with operating oil and anti-corrosive agent
NOTICE
Damage to the gearbox caused by incorrect oil quantities
Check the oil level before commissioning.
Observe the information and procedures for Checking the oil level (Page508).
The gearbox is lled with oil corresponding to the mounting position so that it is ready for
operation, and is sealed airtight using a screw plug or with a pressure breather valve with
transport xture.
For storage up to 36months, a VCI anti-corrosion agent (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) is
added.
12.3.7.4 Gearbox completely lled with oil
NOTICE
Damage to the gearbox caused by incorrect oil quantities
Prior to commissioning, remove excessive oil until it has the correct oil level.
Observe the information and procedures for Correcting the oil level (Page508).
When biodegradable oils or oils for the food-processing sector are used, the gearbox is
lled completely with operating oil. The gearbox is closed air-tight with a sealing plug or a
pressure venting with transport xture.
Do not lower the oil level during short-time commissioning for 10minutes in no-load
operation.
