12. STOPPING THE PUMP FOR LONG PERIODS
12.1 Inactivity For Long Periods
If the pump is started up for the first time after a long period from the shipment date, before starting operation
check the oil level, check the valves as indicated in Chapter 11, and follow the start-up procedures described.
12.2 Filling the Pump With An Anti-Corrosion Emulsion or Anit-freeze By Using An External
Diaphragm Pump As In The Layout Shown in Paragraph 9.7, between pos. 1 and pos. 2 of fig. 6 and
fig. 6/a.
a) In place of a service tank, use a suitable container containing the solution to be pumped.
b) Close the filter draining, if open.
c) Be sure that the connecting hose is clean, spread with grease and connect it to the high pressure outlet
port.
d) Fit a suction hose to the membrane pump. Open the pump suction connection and fit hose between it and
the membrane pump.
e) Fill the container with the solution/emulsion.
f) Put the free extremities of the suction line and the high pressure outlet hose inside the container.
g) Start up the diaphragm pump.
h) Pump the emulsion until it comes out of the high pressure hose.
i) Continue pumping for at least another minute; if needed, the emulsion can be reinforced by adding, for
example, Shell Donax
j) Stop the pump, remove the hose from the suction connection and close it with a plug.
k) Remove the hose from the high pressure outlet port. Clean, grease and plug both connections and the
