Machine Storage
All machinery will develop serious rust problems 
and corrosion damage if it is not properly 
prepared for storage. If decommissioning this 
machine, use the steps in this section to ensure 
that it remains in good condition.
To prepare your machine for storage or 
decommission it from service:
1.
  Disconnect all power sources to the machine.
2.
  Thoroughly clean all unpainted, bare metal 
surfaces, then coat them with a light weight 
grease or rust preventative. Take care to 
ensure these surfaces are completely covered 
but that the grease or rust preventative is 
kept off of painted surfaces.
Note:
 If the machine will be out of service for 
only a short period of time, use way oil or a 
good grade of medium-weight machine oil 
(not auto engine oil) in place of the grease or 
rust preventative.
3.
  Loosen or remove the belts and blade so they 
do not become stretched while the machine is 
out of  use. Tag the machine to indicate that 
the belts and blade are loose.
4.
  Completely cover the machine with a tarp 
or plastic sheet that will keep out dust and 
resist liquid or moisture. If machine will be 
stored in/near direct sunlight, use a cover 
that will block the sun's rays.
