notify KSB or the supplying dealer and the insurer about the damage in writing
immediately.

Corrosion/contamination of the pump!

where the atmospheric humidity is as constant as possible.
Store the pump (set) vertically in a dry, dark, frost-proof room not exposed to
sunlight. Under these conditions it does not need additional preservation.
3.4 Return to supplier

corrosion when coming into contact with atmospheric humidity, or which might
ignite when coming into contact with oxygen, the pump set must be
neutralised, and anhydrous inert gas must be blown through the pump for
drying purposes.
