Re-commissioning after storage
1. Change the oil in the gear box/-es. Refill to normal opera-
ting level. Do not reuse old oil – no matter how clean it may
appear, as it may contain condensed water.
2. Re-install machinery and safety device.
3. Remove all rust protective coatings and lubricate according
to the lubrication chart.
Sprays containing silicone
Used in the right place, silicone is a very efficient lubricant.
However, when it contaminates electrical apparatus the effect is
disastrous. The molecules of silicone are converted into glass by
the heat of the contact arc. Glass is a very good insulator.
Just a small amount of silicone can ruin the whole content of
any electrical cabinet. Exchange of components offers only a
short term repair as once silicone has contaminated the cabinet
the only effective solution is a complete replacement of the
cabinet and all of its components.
From a sample of four (4) different makes of contact cleaner
available in the USA for instance, only one (1) was found to be
silicone free.
Our advice therefore is to avoid sprays of any type where
electrical cabinets are concerned.
Silicone free contact aerosol WD-40 part. No. 5402101-535 is
recommended for external electrical equipment such as plugs,
receptacles and limit switches.
