STORAGE
Your Gardner Denver Blower was packaged at the factory with adequate protection to permit normal sto
rage for
up to six (6) months.
If the unit is to be stored under adverse conditions or f
or
extended periods of time, the following additional
measures should be taken to prevent damage.
1.
Store the blower in a clean, dry, heated (if possible) area.
2.
Make ce
rtain inlet and discharge air ports are tightly covered to prevent foreign material from entering
the air box.
3.
All exposed, non
-
painted surfaces should be protected against rust and corrosion.
4.
Provide adequate protection to avoid accidental mechanical dam
age.
5. In high humidity or corrosive environments, additional measures may be required to prevent rusting of
the blower internal surfaces.
6. To prevent rusting of gears, bearings, etc., the oil reservoirs may be filled with normal operating oil.
Before running the blower, drain the oil and replace to the proper operating level with clean, fresh
lubricant.
7.
Rotate the blower shaft (10 to 25 turns)
week
ly during storage. Inspect the blower shaft (near the shaft
seal area) monthly and spray with rust inhibitor if needed.
