Use the following procedure to store the pump:

2. Disconnect the pump from the electrical supply.
3. Purge your vacuum system and the pump with dry nitrogen and disconnect the pump from your
vacuum system.
4. Replace the oil as described in Section 5.4.
5. Place and secure protective covers over the inlet and outlet-ports.
6. Store the pump in cool, dry conditions until required for use.
When required, prepare and install the pump as described in Section 3. If the pump has been stored for
more than a year, you must clean and overhaul the pump before you install it, as described in the
instructions supplied with the clean and overhaul kit.
