Storage guidelines
Pump storage requirements
Storage requirements depend on the amount of time that you store the unit. The normal
packaging is designed only to protect the unit during shipping.
Length of time in storage
Storage requirements
Upon receipt/short-term (less than six months)
• Store in a covered and dry location.
• Store the unit free from dirt and vibrations.
Long-term (more than six months)
• Store in a covered and dry location.
• Store the unit free from heat, dirt, and vibra-
tions.
• Rotate the shaft by hand several times at least
every three months.
Treat bearing and machined surfaces so that they are well preserved. Refer to drive unit and
coupling manufacturers for their long-term storage procedures.
You can purchase long-term storage treatment with the initial unit order or you can purchase it
and apply it after the units are already in the field. Contact your local ITT sales representative.
