4.1 STORAGE AND PRESERVATION
The S
CUBIC and
S
BOXER
series pumps are normally shipped with packaging in a closed cardboard box
and internal cardboard impact protection.
At the specific request of the customer, depending on the quantities and country of destination, they can
be shipped on pallets and in a wooden crate or with packaging for shipments by sea.
The packaged pump can be store for up to 6 months in a marine environment (protected, dry and clean)
and 12 months in a terrestrial environment (clean, protected and dry), at temperatures from +5°C to
+45°C, with relative humidity not exceeding 90%.
Upon delivery, check that the packaging and the pump are intact and undamaged; then, you can arrange
for storage or assembly.
4.1.1
OPERATIONS FOR FUTURE STORAGE
In the future, the pump must always be stored with the pump empty, without liquids and after having
suitably washed it.
4.1.1a
Drain the pump of any liquid residues.
4.1.1b
Wash the internal and external surfaces of the pump and provide for its decontamination if dangerous or
toxic liquids have been used.
CAUTION
: risk of pump damage.
The pump must be stored in a suitable packaging, protected from sunlight and dust, away from sub-
stances that react with the construction materials.
4.1.2
OPERATIONS AFTER STORAGE/PROLONGED STOPS, BEFORE OPERATION
After a prolonged storage and/or stop, it is always necessary to perform the following checks before
commissioning the pump:
4.1.2a
Check the tightness of the pump screws as described in
Section 6.3 CHECKING TIGHTENING
.
CAUTION:
risk of damage and breakages.
Excessive tightening (especially on plastic pumps), can cause dangerous tensions on some components
and/or sudden breakages that cannot be attributed to construction defects.
4.1.2b
Carry out an initial check of the pump’s no-load operation and pay attention to the correct operation of the
pneumatic exchanger and the absence of abnormal noises.
CAUTION:
in the event of abnormal noise, stop the pump immediately.
Abnormal noise from the pump indicates an abnormal condition for which it is always necessary to
determine the cause before continuing;
in such cases stop the pump immediately and resolve the
abnormal condition before commissioning.
