Equipment should be stored in enclosed areas. Indoor storage area should be clean and dry.
Storage should be off of the floor, preferably on skids or pallets.
Storage area should be free from rapid temperature changes. If necessary, an additional heat
source should be used.
Storage area should not subject equipment to vibration.
All interior and exterior surfaces of the spout must be thoroughly coated with Cosmoline. Any
unpainted surfaces, such as shafts, rollers, bearings, and pins should be given special
attention to ensure a thorough covering of Cosmoline.
Storage must be above any possible water or snow line.
All bearings must be fully charged with grease.
Periodic inspections should be made, checking the covering, any moisture present,
cleanliness and general appearance to ensure the absence of corrosion and the integrity of
the Cosmoline coating.
If outdoor storage is necessary, the equipment should be fully covered with weather-proof
material, vented so as not to trap moisture, but drip-proof so the water cannot enter or splash
up into it.
All electrical device enclosures must be opened and coated with CRC Stor & Lube.
All electrical connections (terminations) must be coated with CRC Stor & Lube.
All electrical openings must be capped or plugged as necessary to be sealed to atmosphere.
Minimum Field Wiring 16ga AWG.
Electrical junction boxes included with the equipment should be opened and any exposed
wire and terminations should be coated with CRC Stor & Lube. Open conduit connections
should be plugged or capped to atmosphere and the enclosure door should be securely
tightened to ensure sealing integrity.
