| STORAGE
7 .1 - STORAGE OF THE PUMP
Store the pump in a sheltered and dry place and ensure that the storage room temperature is between
-20°C (-4°F) and 55°C (131°F).
Protect the pump if necessary and block the inlet and outlet orifices:
If the pump stays without working more than 1 month, withdraw the hose from the pump or withdraw one
of the rollers from the hose.
If you can neither withdraw the hose or one of the rollers, run the pump 5min a week.
7 .2 - STORAGE OF THE HOSE PUMP
Hoses must be stored sheltered from light in a cool place. The hose life is reduced after two years. The
performance of hoses is reduced at the end of this expiry date due to the ageing of rubber.
