Machine Storage

If the machine is not properly prepared for storage, it may develop rust or corrosion. If decommissioning this machine, use the steps in this section to ensure that it remains in good condition for later use.

To prepare your machine for storage:

1.Pump out the old oil, then clean and wipe out the oil reservoir.

2.If coolant was used, put on safety goggles and clean the coolant system. Next, add a few drops of oil in the lines to prevent corrosion, and blow out the lines with compressed air.

3.DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!

4.Remove the grinding wheel and hub. Coat the hub tapered bore and the spindle taper with white lithium grease for protection.

5.Lubricate the machine as outlined in the Maintenance Schedule on Page 32, and thoroughly clean all unpainted bare metal surfaces, then apply a liberal coat of way oil.

6.Have an assistant carefully lift up on the table so it is raised approximately an inch or two, use the wires to insert each neoprene seat into its respective way (see Figures 50 –51), then carefully lower the table onto the ball bearings. The table must be resting on the seats at all four corners.

7.Next use a paint brush and white lithium grease to coat all bearings and ways with a coat of grease to prevent rust.

8.Place one or two moisture absorbing desiccant bags at the bottom of the electrical box.

9.Cover and place the machine in a dry area that is out of direct sunlight and away from hazardous fumes, paint, solvents, or gas. Fumes and sunlight can bleach or discolor paint and make plastic guards cloudy.
