STORAGE
7.1
STORAGE OF THE PUMP
Store the pump in a sheltered and dry place and ensure that the storage room temperature is between - 20°C and +45°C.
Protect the pump if necessary and block the inlet and outlet orifices:
If the pump stays without working more than 1 month, withdraw the hose from the pump or withdraw one of the shoes as
well as its centring pin and position the wheel so that the second shoe can be seen threw the sight glass.
For models ALH05-10-15-20, position the wheel so that one of the cam lobes remains submerged in the lubricant.
If you can neither withdraw the hose or one of the shoes, run the pump 5min a week.
7.2
STORAGE OF THE PUMP HOSES
Hoses must be stored sheltered from light in a cool place. Their life is reduced after two years. The performance of hoses
is reduced at the end of this expiry date due to the ageing of rubber.

ALHS SERIES COMPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
6.6.1
SETUP
Before the setup of the pump, check the following points:
- The ALHS pump is delivered without a frame. Assembly holes are at the back of the pump for assembly on a frame.
Dimensions of these assembly holes can be found in § 9.2 l. The pump with its drive and frame must be fixed to a solid
base with a slope which does not exceed 5mm for 1m and must be firmly fastened to this one.
- The pump frame must be built in order to support the stress and deformations delivered by the pump and drive. It should
be built by qualified staff with good engineering practice. In no case ALBIN PUMP AB is reponsable for it’s construction or
conception.
- The alignement of pump and drive shafts must be made in accordance with instructions given by the manufacturer of
the coupling. Refer to the specific notice of such material. To achieve alignment and coupling, use a perfectly straight ruler
to control the misalignment, and a feeler gauge for angular misalignment. Control four points (top, bottom, left, right) at
each stage of the installation (after setting on foundations, after fixing pipes and after a first start).
- Make sure there is enough room around the pump to carry out maintenance. If that was not the case, envisage the moving
of the pump in a space provided for this purpose.
- Make sure the room is adequately ventilated to relieve the heat generated by the pump. Leave a space behind the motor
ventilator hood so as not to obstruct the air intake.
6.6.2
PUMP STARTING
Follow the steps described in §5. The hose is not mounted on bare shaft pumps when delivered. Therefore, hose mounting
operations should be followed before the starting up.
6.6.3
BEARING CASE DISMANTLING AND LIP SEAL POS26 REPLACEMENT
Carry out operations described in §6.4.2. Disassemble the bearing case in the same way as for the gearbox.
1 Remove lip seals POS105 and POS106 from the bearing case.
2 Remove the circlips POS 107.
3 Remove the shaft with the bearings.
4 Carry out the disassembly of the bearings and replace them together with the shaft POS102 if necessary.
6.6.4
MAINTENANCE AND PERIODICAL CONTROLS
Regularly check the absence of grease coming from the leakage channel or from the lip seal POS106.
