GUIDELINES FOR TORQUE-ARM II
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 into service.
By taking special precautions, problems such as seal leakage
and reducer failure due to 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 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 airtight. Replace the vent plug with a standard
pipe plug and wire the vent to the unit.
3.
Cover all unpainted exterior parts with a waxy rust
preventative compound that will keep oxygen away from the
bare metal. (Non-Rust X-110 by Daubert Chemical Co. or
equivalent)
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 can keep moisture away.
5.
Protect 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.
Fill the unit to the proper oil level using a recommended
lubricant. The VCI oil will not affect the new lubricant.
2.
Clean the shaft extensions with petroleum solvents.
3.
Assemble the vent plug into the proper hole.
See Table 4 for VCI #105 oil quantities by reducer size.
