GUIDELINES FOR TORQUE-ARM REDUCER LONG-TERM STORAGE
During periods of long storage, or when waiting for
delivery or installation of other equipment, special care
should be taken to protect a gear reducer to have it
ready to be in the best condition when placed into
service.
By taking special precautions, problems such as seal
leakage and reducer failure due to the lack of lubrication,
improper lubrication quantity, or contamination can be
avoided. The following precautions will protect gear
reducers during periods of extended storage:
Preparation
1.
Drain the oil from the unit. Add a vapor phase
corrosion inhibiting oil (VCI-105 oil by Daubert
Chemical Co.) in accordance with Table 3.
2.
Seal the unit air tight. Replace the vent plug with a
standard pipe plug and wire the vent to the unit.
3.
Cover the shaft extension with a waxy rust
preventative compound that will keep oxygen away
from the bare metal. (Non-Rust X-110 by Daubert
Chemical Co.).
4.
The instruction manuals and lubrication tags are
paper and must be kept dry. Either remove these
documents and store them inside or cover the unit
with a durable waterproof cover which can keep
moisture away.
5.
Protect the reducer from dust, moisture, and other
contaminants by storing the unit in a dry area.
6.
In damp environments, the reducer should be
packed inside a moisture-proof container or an
envelope of polyethylene containing a desiccant
material. If the reducer is to be stored outdoors,
cover the entire exterior with a rust preventative.
When Placing the Reducer into Service
1.
Assemble the vent plug into the proper hole.
2.
Clean the shaft extensions with petroleum solvents.
3.
Fill the unit to the proper oil level using a
recommended lubricant. The VCI oil will not affect
the new lubricant.
4.
Follow the installation instructions provided in this
manual.
