Equipment not properly stored before UAE summer shutdown requires significantly more preparation before returning to service.
All equipment — before shutdown
- Clean all equipment thoroughly
- Lubricate all grease points
- Check fluid levels and top up before storage
- Cover all equipment — shade cloth or tarpaulin at minimum
Concrete mixers
- Clean drum completely
- Apply grease to ring gear and pinion before covering
- For shutdowns above 4 weeks, run the drum for 5 minutes monthly
Petrol-powered equipment
- Drain the carburettor and run the engine until it stops
- Change oil before storage — used oil contains acids that corrode internal surfaces
Returning to service
Check all fluid levels, inspect belts and seals, clear ventilation slots, and run briefly without load before applying full working load.
