EQUIPMENT STORAGE

General

If equipment is not being installed immediately, it should be stored in a dry environment (50

percent relative humidity or less). A dry environment will ensure that the machine remains in the

same condition as when it was received.

If unit is stored outdoors, cover with a UV-resistant tarpaulin (tarp) or UV-resistant shrink-wrap.

Install vents when using shrink-wrap. Cap exposed liquid discharge fitting and feed tube to

prevent entry of moisture or foreign matter. Seal the Operating and Maintenance manual in plastic

and attach to unit.

WARNING! MOTOR MAY BE DAMAGED BY STORING MACHINE IN A HIGH

HUMIDITY ENVIRONMENT (GREATER THAN 50% RH). OUT-OF-SERVICE

MOTOR(S) MUST BE STORED IN A LOW-HUMIDITY ENVIRONMENT.

Bearings

The main bearings that support the bowl assembly and the conveyor bearings should be

lubricated before the centrifuge is placed in storage using the grease specified with the machine.

For locations of lubrication points, refer to Section 5.
