Preparation For Storage

Shaft Extensions and Exposed Machined Surfaces

Surfaces should be coated with an easily removable rust preventive such as Tectyl No. 502-C.

If the storage period will be nine months or longer and the risk of exposure to moisture is present, take the following precautions;

1.Before adding the lubricant described above, disassemble the motor taking care not to contaminate the existing lubricant or the bearing or shaft journal.

2.If any exposed machined surfaces are unpainted, coat these with a non-hardening protective film, such as Tectyl No. 506. This material can be later removed with petroleum solvents. Do not apply this material to bearings, shaft journals or other parts within the bearing cavity.

3.FOR INLAND HUMID CLIMATE or SALTY AND INDUSTRIAL ATMOSPHERE: Before reassembly of the motor, spray all internal surfaces of the stator (winding and iron) with one coat of an anti-fungus varnish such as PD. George No. 1137 protective sealer.
