2) Cover the unit completely to exclude dirt, dust, moisture, and other foreign materials.
3) If the motor can be moved, it is suggested that the entire motor be encased in a strong, transparent plastic
bag. Before sealing this bag, a moisture indicator should be attached to the side of the motor and several
bags of silica-gel desiccant put inside the bag, around the motor. When the moisture indicator shows
that the desiccant has lost its effectiveness, as by a change in color, the bag should be opened and fresh
replacement desiccants installed.
Whenever the motor cannot be sealed, space heaters must be installed to keep the motor at least 10°F
above the ambient temperature.
NOTE: There is a potential for damage by small rodents and other animals that will inhabit
motors in search of warm surroundings or food. Due to this, a possibility of motor
winding destruction exists. Sealing motor openings should restrict access to the
motor.
4) Rotate motor and compressor shafts several revolutions (approximately 6) per month to eliminate at spots
on the bearing surfaces. If the compressor unit is installed, wired and charged with oil, open all oil line valves
and run the oil pump for 10 seconds prior to rotating the compressor shaft. Continue running the oil pump
while the compressor shaft is being turned to help lubricate the surfaces of the shaft seal.
