2.2.3 Storage regulations for used motors

Long-term storage (seaworthy packing)

Note

The information contained in the general storage regulations must always be observed.

• Storage for longer than two years:

Note

The two-year storage period only applies to motors for which long-term conservation measures have been taken (seaworthy packing).

NOTICE

The following steps must be carried out prior to starting up the motor:

• Regrease the motor bearings.

• Visually inspect the rubber elements (especially after storage for long periods at high temperatures).

– The packaging should be removed after two years and the transportation locks also removed if necessary. – The rotor of the motor must be turned several turns.

When the bearing grease is redistributed in this way, the grease-lubricated bearings are protected against corrosion again. – After being turned, the rotor should be stored in a different position to the previous six months. – If necessary, the transportation lock should be remounted. – Finally, the motor should be resealed in plastic film together with silica gel.

2.2.3 Storage regulations for used motors

Note

The information contained in the general storage regulations must always be observed.

• Used motors should be stored on a pallet or another wooden base.

• Providing long-term conservation measures are taken (sealing in plastic film together with silica gel), they can then be stored in the same way as new motors.

• If long-term conservation measures are not taken for the motor, the rotor should be turned several turns once every six months.

After being turned, the rotor should always be stored in a different position to the previous six months.

If necessary, the transportation lock should be remounted.

• All bright surfaces must be completely coated with anti-corrosion agent.
