When storing the USC Conveyors for long periods of time, the following procedure
must be followed to reduce the chance of rust, corrosion and fatigue of the conveyor.
You can also use these steps when storing the machine for the winter.
A dust mask and protective rubber gloves shall be used when
cleaning the machine.
1. Clear the area of bystanders, especially small children.
2. Thoroughly wash the entire machine to remove all dirt, mud, debris or residue.
3. Inspect all moving or rotating parts to see if anything has become entangled in
them. Remove the entangled material.
4. Lubricate all grease fittings. Make sure that all grease cavities have been filled with
grease to remove any water residue from the washing. This also protects the
bearing seals.
5. Remove drive assembly cover. Clean entire area and ensure drive belt is clean and
free of debris.
6. Touch up all paint nicks and scratches to prevent rusting.
7. Select an area that is dry, level and free of debris.
8. If possible, store the machine inside a protective building to keep it from being
exposed to the weather. If storing outside, cover the entire machine with a large
waterproof tarpaulin. If you do not have one large enough, at a minimum cover all
electric motors.
9. Unhook from towing vehicle.
10. Place blocks under the intake or the jack if required.
11. Store machine in an area away from human activity.
