5.6 Measures to take for periods of long inactivity
The pump remains installed:
to prevent sediment from forming inside the pump, periodically start the pump for about five minutes
(about once a month).
The pump is removed:
proceed as described in the previous section "Stop Sequence". Protect the ports (using the caps provided
on delivery). When handling and storing the pump, follow the instructions in section "Storage".
To allow electrostatic charges to dissipate, wait at least one hour before re-
moving the pump from the plant.
5.7 Running the pump after a long period of stop
It is always recommended to run the pump at least once a month or once eve-
ry three months as a minimum, for approximately 5-10 mins
.
This avoids the formation of sediments inside the pump, as well as preventing the elastomers from loos-
ing their elasticity and the mechanical seal from hardening (if the pump is equipped with it).
To restart the pump after a period of inactivity, see the entire section "Starting and stopping" and the
section "Maintenance".
We recommend following these suggestions:
UP TO ONE YEAR:
- replace all elastomers
BEYOND ONE YEAR (in addition to the above):
- check the magnetic field of the inner and outer magnet
