Storage (less than one year)
Store operators on wooden skids to protect the machined mounting flange. Place the wooden skids containing the
operators in a clean, dry, protected warehouse. If the operators 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 WG, refer
to the storage procedures in its respective manual for appropriate storage procedures. Rotate input shafts every three
months to mix the lubricant.
