Guidelines for Torque-Arm Reducer
Long Term Storage
During periods of long storage, or when waiting for delivery or
installation of other equipment, special care should be taken
to protect a gear reducer to have it ready to be in the best
condition when placed in service.
By taking special precautions, problems such as seal leakage
and reducer failure due to the lack of lubrication, improper
lubrication quantity, or contamination can be avoided. The
following precautions will protect gear reducers during periods
of extended storage:
Preparation
1. Drain the oil from the unit. Add a vapor phase corrosion
inhibiting oil (VCI-105 oil by Daubert Chemical Co.) in
accordance with Table 4.
2. Seal the unit air tight.
3. Cover the shaft extension with a waxy rust preventative
compound that will keep oxygen away from the bare metal
(Non-Rust X-110 by Daubert Chemical Co.).
4. The instruction manuals and lubrication tags are paper
and must be kept dry. Either remove these documents
and store them inside or cover the unit with a durable
waterproof cover which will keep moisture away.
5. Protect the reducer from dust, moisture, and other
contaminants by storing the unit in a dry area.
6. In damp environments, the reducer should be packed
inside a moisture-proof container or an envelope of
polyethylene containing a desiccant material. If the reducer
is to be stored outdoors, cover the entire exterior with a
rust preventative.
When Placing the Reducer into Service
1. Clean the shaft extensions with petroleum solvents.
2. Fill the unit to the proper oil level using a recommended
lubricant. The VCI oil will not affect the new lubricant.
3. Follow the installation instructions provided in this manual.
