Machine Storage

To avoid rust problems or corrosion damage, use
the following information to protect your invest-
ment when storing the mill for any length of time.
• DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
• Lubricate the mill as directed in the Lubrication
section beginning on Page 47.
• Thoroughly clean all unpainted, bare metal
surfaces, then coat them with a light weight
grease or rust preventative. Take care to
ensure these surfaces are completely cov-
ered but that the grease or rust preventative
is kept off painted surfaces.
Note: If the machine will be out of service
for only a short period of time, use way oil or
a good grade of medium-weight machine oil
(not auto engine oil) in place of the grease or
rust preventative.
• Loosen the belts to prevent them from stretch-
ing during storage. Post a reminder on the
mill that the belts need to be re-tensioned
before resuming operations.
• Cover and place the machine in a dry area
that is out of direct sunlight and away from
hazardous fumes, paint, solvents, or gas.
Fumes and sunlight can bleach or discolor
paint and plastic parts.
• At least once a month, start the mill and run
all gear-driven components for a few min-
utes. This will keep the bearings, bushings,
gears, and shafts well lubricated and pro-
tected from corrosion, especially during the
winter months.
