STORAGE
Drain the pump of oil inside and close the intake and outlet with the appropriate protections. The pumps are to be
stored in their packaging and stored in covered, dry, protected places that are not exposed to bright sunlight, with
temperatures in the range indicated in the table of technical specifications.
In case of long periods of stop inside the warehouse or out of production with storage, the location should meet the
specifications described in Chapter 3 (Pump description). In order to keep rubber parts and lip seals efficient and
properly working, we recommend to operate the pump for at least 30 minutes every 6 months with the intake
closed, following the instructions and provisions described in this manual, paying particular attention to those in
Chapter 5 (Use instructions). The non-observance of the provisions could cause the rubber parts to degrade leading
to oil leakages during operation.
