Storage conditions

4.3 Storage conditions
When the product is delivered, check for possible transport damage and report
any damage to the manufacturer in writing.
The storage area of product must be a safe and sheltered environment secured
against access of unauthorized personnel. The product should be placed on a
flat, load bearing surface on suitable timber supports.
Storage temperature: 5 °C ... 40 °C
The composition of the paint is designed for installation in the machine room
(indoor installation). Contact with water (including water spray) must be avoided.
Turn the shaft of the compressor at least once every four weeks (approx. 10 rev-
olutions).
The transport packing (foil), that needs to be opened for turning the compressor
shaft and for checking the protective gas filling, must be closed again after carry-
ing out the activities in order to ensure protection against external influences. The
packing (foil) must be replaced as needed and for lengthy storage times.
Long-term storage
With a standstill of the compressor for more than 16 weeks prior to start-up, there
is a danger that the shaft seal may stick on the shaft and therefore be damaged
on start-up.
For this reason the removal and cleaning of the shaft seal is prescribed to guar-
antee its subsequent functionality.

Notice
The product must be adequately protected from external influences (humid-
ity, frost, extreme heat) during storage. This may occur where some period
of storage may occur outdoors or after installation in unheated plant rooms
prior to start-up of the installation of the product.
► The manufacturer recommends the use of plastic sheeting to cover the
whole product.
► The venting slits of the electric motors must always be covered!
Notice
When delivered, the product is filled with protective gas that will prevent a
change of the properties of an operating media (e.g. refrigerator oil).
► Check the protective gas filling once a week and recharge to the speci-
fied overpressure of 0.3 - 0.5 bar if required. Dry nitrogen with a residual
moisture of ≤ 30 ppm is used for this purpose.
Notice
The build-up of condensation on the product surface must be avoided.
► Regular ventilation of the product must be guaranteed!
