Machine Storage

All machinery will develop serious rust problems
and corrosion damage if not properly prepared
for storage. If decommissioning this machine, use
the steps in this section to ensure that it remains
in good condition.
Items Needed
T26419 or NLGI#2 Grease Equivalent...As Needed
Rust Preventative .................................As Needed
Control Tags .........................................As Needed
Tarp/Plastic Sheet ................................................ 1
Desiccant Packs ..................................As Needed
Preparing Machine for Storage
1.
DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2.
Thoroughly clean all unpainted, bare metal
surfaces, then coat them with light weight
grease or rust preventative. Take care to
ensure these surfaces are completely cov-
ered but that grease or rust preventative is
kept off of painted surfaces.
— If machine will be out of service for only a
short period of time, use quality medium-
weight machine oil (not auto engine oil) in
place of grease or rust preventative.
3. Remove old coolant, then add a few drops of
way oil and blow out lines with compressed
air.

4. Loosen or remove blade so it does not stretch
or rust while machine is stored.
— If machine will be out of service for only a
short period of time, start machine once a
week and run all gear-driven components
for a few minutes. This will put fresh coat
of gear oil on gearing components inside
gearbox.
Qty
— If it will be out of service for a long period
of time, drain, then completely fill gear-
box with recommended gear oil so com-
ponents above normal oil level do not
develop rust. (Make sure to put a tag on
controls as a reminder for re-commission-
ing process to adjust gear oil level before
starting machine.)
5.
Place a few moisture-absorbing desiccant
packs inside of electrical box.
6.
Completely cover machine with tarp or plastic
sheet that will keep out dust and resist liquid
or moisture. If machine will be stored in/near
direct sunlight, use a cover that will block the
sun's rays.
Bringing Machine Out of Storage
