Steps to take to keep the equipment dry vary, depending on application. For instance, a rain cover may be employed. Caution 2- Observe temperature limitations of lubricants. Substituting lubricants specially formulated for cold temperature can extend the functional operating temperature range of equipment. Appropriate substitutions vary with product and application.
Structural metals lose ductility and shock resistance in extreme cold temperature environments.
This practice assumes that there is not a user specification for the application that specifically addresses and quantifies shock resistance requirements. If you have questions or comments about this site please contact the webmaster.
