Machine Storage
If the machine is not properly prepared for
storage, it may develop rust or corrosion. If
decommissioning this machine, use the steps
in this section to ensure that it remains in good
condition for later use.
To prepare your machine for storage:
1. Pump out the old oil, then clean and wipe
out the oil reservoir.
2. If coolant was used, put on safety goggles
and clean the coolant system. Next, add
a few drops of oil in the lines to prevent
corrosion, and blow out the lines with
compressed air.
3. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
4. Remove the grinding wheel and hub. Coat
the hub tapered bore and the spindle taper
with white lithium grease for protection.
5. Lubricate the machine as outlined in the
Maintenance Schedule on Page 32, and
thoroughly clean all unpainted bare metal
surfaces, then apply a liberal coat of way oil.
6. Have an assistant carefully lift up on the
table so it is raised approximately an inch or
two, use the wires to insert each neoprene
seat into its respective way (see Figures 50
–51), then carefully lower the table onto the
ball bearings. The table must be resting on
the seats at all four corners.

7. Next use a paint brush and white lithium
grease to coat all bearings and ways with a
coat of grease to prevent rust.
8. Place one or two moisture absorbing
desiccant bags at the bottom of the electrical
box.
9. Cover and place the machine in a dry area
that is out of direct sunlight and away from
hazardous fumes, paint, solvents, or gas.
Fumes and sunlight can bleach or discolor
paint and make plastic guards cloudy.
