Machine Storage
To avoid control box damage, and rust or
corrosion damage to metal surfaces, you must
properly prepare the mill for storage if it will not
be operated for any length of time.
You also must make certain that the storage
environment temperature will maintain
-13°F to 158°F (-25°C to +70°C), and the relative
humidity will not exceed 90% (non-condensing).
To prepare mill for storage:
1.
DISCONNECT MILL FROM POWER!
Lubricate as directed in Maintenance
2.
section beginning on Page 36.
Remove all coolant as directed in Changing
3.
Coolant section on Page 42.
4.
Blow out coolant lines with compressed air.
5.
Thoroughly clean all unpainted, bare metal
surfaces, then coat them with quality rust
preventative. Take care to ensure these
surfaces are completely covered but that rust
preventative is kept off painted surfaces.
M A I N T E N A N C E
Tip: If mill will be out of service for less than a
year, use way oil or good grade of medium-
weight machine oil (not motor oil or WD-40)
in place of rust preventative.
6.
Painted surfaces may be cleaned and waxed
with any quality automotive car wax.
•
If machine will be out of service for year or
between
longer, drain oiler and blow out oil lines with
compressed air.
•
If machine will be out of service for year or
longer, loosen the belts to prevent them from
stretching during storage. Post a reminder
on mill that belts need to be re-installed or
tensioned before resuming operations.
•
If machine will be out of service for year
or longer, place a few moisture-absorbing
desiccant packs inside electrical and control
panel boxes.
7.
Cover and place the machine in 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.
