2.3 Storage Procedure
NOTE: The following is the recommended storage procedure to retain maximum product integrity during storage.
Failure to comply with recommended procedure will void the warranty.
Storage (Less Than One Year)
Store gearboxes on wooden skids to protect the machined mounting flange. Place the wooden skids containing the
gearboxes in a clean, dry, protected warehouse. If the gearboxes must be stored outside, they must be covered in
polyethylene protection with silica gel crystals to absorb moisture. If an electric actuator is attached to the HBC, refer
to the storage procedures in its respective manual for appropriate storage procedures. Rotate input shafts every
three months to mix the lubricant.
