7.4 Stand-by pumps
If a pump is on stand-by, it is to be started up from time to time. Regularly turn the shaft by hand in the
direction of rotation.
This operation is to be performed more often for pumps which are exposed to very strong vibrations from
the plant.
When dismantling the pump from the plant, drain it, thoroughly clean it, seal with flange covers and store
in accordance with the instructions.
