Storage

DANGER

Danger due to fluids which are hazardous to health!

Danger of bacterial infection!

Disinfect the mixer after removal.
Observe the specifications of the work regulations.

CAUTION

Total damage due to moisture ingress

The ingress of moisture into the drive unit will result in total damage! Ensure the drive unit is sealed watertight during storage. Prevent condensation from forming! The storage location must be overflow-proof. Observe information in the manufacturer’s instructions!

CAUTION

Material damage to the drive unit

If the product is stored in environments with high humidity (e.g. maritime or tropical environments), severe rusting can damage the gear. In such environmental conditions, simply moving the propeller on a regular basis is no longer sufficient. In such cases, add an oil-soluble concentrate with anti-rust additives (concentration approx. 2 %) to the gear oil. For further information, consult the manufacturer’s instructions!

Newly supplied mixers can be stored for 2 years. Consult customer service before storing the mixer for more than 2 years.

The following must be observed as regards storage:

Place the mixer on a solid surface and secure it against slipping and falling over!
The max. storage temperature is -15 °C to +60 °C (5 °F to 140 °F) at a max. relative humidity of 90 %, non-condensing. Frost-proof storage at a temperature of 5 °C to 25 °C (41 °F to 77 °F) with relative humidity of 40 % to 50 % is recommended.
Do not store the mixer in rooms in which welding work is carried out. The resulting gases or radiation can corrode the elastomer parts and coatings.
Protect the mixer from direct sunlight and heat. Extreme heat can cause damage to the propeller and the coating!
For information on storing the drive unit, consult and observe the manufacturer’s instructions!

After storage, remove any dust and oil from the mixer and check the coatings for damage. Repair damaged coatings before further use.
