Machine Storage
All machinery will develop serious rust problems
and corrosion damage if it is not properly
prepared for storage. If decommissioning this
machine, use the steps in this section to ensure
that it remains in good condition.
To prepare your machine for storage or
decommission it from service:
1. Disconnect all power sources to the machine.
2. Thoroughly clean all unpainted, bare metal
surfaces, then coat them with a light weight
grease or rust preventative. Take care to
ensure these surfaces are completely covered
but that the grease or rust preventative is
kept off of painted surfaces.
Note: If the machine will be out of service for
only a short period of time, use way oil or a
good grade of medium-weight machine oil
(not auto engine oil) in place of the grease or
rust preventative.
3. Loosen or remove the belts and blade so they
do not become stretched while the machine is
out of use. Tag the machine to indicate that
the belts and blade are loose.
4. Completely cover the machine with a tarp
or plastic sheet that will keep out dust and
resist liquid or moisture. If machine will be
stored in/near direct sunlight, use a cover
that will block the sun's rays.
