3.2 Storage
Store the machine in a dry room at above-zero

intake and delivery sockets only just before the
machine is installed. If the screw compressor is
stored or not used for an extended period of
time, it must be preserved to protect if from cor-
rosion. Consult the manufacturer for the right
preserving compound.
