Hello to all!
It is almost Winter and up here in Wisconsin it get real cold, some time below zero for days on in. I will be buying machines that I was thinking about installing in my garage(because some are too heavy or too big to take indoor).
My biggest questions that I seem to have a real hard time getting a clear answer on are; one, is it OK to leave the machines out in the cold in unheated garage? Second, is it OK to operate them in that condition? I was told by some that casted metal parts some time would crack due to the cold and bearing and parts that are lubricated with oil would freeze and you would damage them if you use them while it is frozen. Is this true?
Any inputs would be much appreciated!
Thank you very much for reading this post.
