Transportation, storage and disposal
Preservation
Preservation has to be carried out in the following cases:
□
For standard delivery:
For storage periods exceeding six weeks and in case of adverse storage
conditions such as high humidity, salty air, etc.
□
For delivery with long-term preservation:
If the packaging has been opened or damaged
Preserving the internal surfaces of the pump
1. Close the suction connection of the pump with a blind flange.
2. Pour non-corrosive, resin-free oil into the pressure connection until it reaches approx. 2 cm under
the pressure flange, while slowly turning the main screw against the direction of rotation.
3. Close the pressure connection of the pump with a blind flange.
After about six months storage check the oil level and if necessary top up oil.
Preserving the external surfaces of the pump
Aids:
□
Preservative (e.g. Castrol Rustilo DWX 33)
► Paint or spray the preservative onto all plain and unpainted parts.
At intervals of about six months check the preservation and if necessary repeat.
Notice
: Store the preserved pump cool and dry and protect it against direct sunlight.
Removing the preservation
Aids:
□
Solvent
□
Steam-jet cleaning device with wax-dissolving additives
□
Collection tank
1. Clean the outside of the pump with solvents, if necessary using a steam-jet cleaning device.
2. Remove the blind flange on the pressure side.
3. Drain the pump, collecting the preservative oil in a collection tank.
4. Remove the blind flange on the suction side.
5. To remove the residual oil, rinse the pump with the pumped liquid.
CAUTION
Risk of injury through emitted preservative oil.
► Wear protective equipment during all the work.
► Open the blind flange carefully in order to reduce any pressure that may exist in the pump.
► Collect the emitted preservative oil safely and dispose of it in an environmentally compatible man-
ner.
