3.3 Storage/preservation
If commissioning is to take place some time after delivery, we recommend that the
following measures be taken for pump (set) storage.
CAUTION
Damage during storage by humidity, dirt, or vermin
Corrosion/contamination of the pump (set)!
▷
For outdoor storage cover the packed or unpacked pump (set) and accessories
with waterproof material.
CAUTION
Wet, contaminated or damaged openings and connections
Leakage or damage to the pump!
▷
Clean and cover pump openings and connections as required prior to putting
the pump into storage.
Store the pump (set) in a dry, protected room where the atmospheric humidity is as
constant as possible.
Rotate the shaft by hand once a month, e.g. via the motor fan.
If properly stored indoors, the pump set is protected for a maximum of 12 months.
New pumps/pump sets are supplied by our factory duly prepared for storage.
For storing a pump (set) which has already been operated, the shutdown measures
must be adhered to.

Section 7.3, Page 50)
2.
Always flush and clean the pump, particularly if it has been used for handling
noxious, explosive, hot or other hazardous fluids.
3.
If the pump set has handled fluids whose residues could lead to corrosion
damage in the presence of atmospheric humidity or could ignite upon contact
with oxygen, the pump set must also be neutralised, and anhydrous inert gas
must be blown through the pump to ensure drying.
4.
Always complete and enclose a certificate of decontamination when returning
the pump (set).
Always indicate any safety and decontamination measures taken.
