Instruction Manual
SECTION 2 - INSTALLATION
2.1 UNPACKING
Pumps are shipped Free on Board (FOB) factory
or representative warehouse and the title passes to
the customer when the carrier signs for receipt of
the pump. In the event that damages occur during
shipment, it is the responsibility of the customer to
notify the carrier immediately and to file a damage
claim.
Carefully examine the shipping crate upon receipt
from the carrier to be sure there is no obvious
damage to the contents. Open the crate carefully so
accessory items fastened to the inside of the crate
will not be damaged or lost. Examine all material
inside the crate and check against packing list to
be sure that all items are accounted for and intact.
2.2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When installing, operating, and maintaining the
MILROYAL
®
G pump, keep safety considerations
foremost. Use proper tools, protective clothing, and
eye protection when working on the equipment
and install the equipment with a view toward
ensuring safe operation. Follow the instructions
in this manual and take additional safety
measures appropriate to the liquid being pumped.
Be extremely careful in the presence of hazardous
substances (e.g., Corrosives, toxins, solvents,
acids, caustics, flammables etc.).
2.3 STORAGE
2.3.1 Temporary Storage (Less than 6 Months)
It is preferable to store the material under a shelter
in its original package to protect it from adverse
weather conditions. In condensing atmospheres,
follow the long term storage procedure.
2.3.2 Long Term Storage
(Longer than 6 Months)
Primary Considerations
The primary consideration in storage of pump
equipment is to prevent corrosion of external and
internal components. This corrosion is caused
by natural circulation of air as temperature of the
surroundings change from day to night, day to day,
and from season to season. It is not practical to
prevent this circulation which carries water vapor
and other corrosive gasses, so it is necessary to
protect internal and external surfaces from their
effects to the extent possible.
When the instructions given in this section are
completed, the equipment is to be stored sheltered/
protected from direct exposure to weather.
The prepared equipment should be covered with a
plastic sheet or a tarpaulin, but in a manner which
will allow air circulation and prevent capture of
moisture. Equipment should be stored 12” or more
above the ground.
If equipment is to be shipped directly from
Milton Roy into long term storage, contact
Milton Roy to arrange for factory preparation.
2.3.3 Pump Drive
1. Flood the pump drive housing with a high grade
lubricating oil/rust preventative such as Mobile
Oil Corporation product “Mobilarma 524”.
Fill the housing completely to minimize air space
and water vapor condensation. After storage,
drain this material and refill the equipment to the
correct oil level with the recommended lubricant
for equipment commissioning.
2. Remove drive motor and brush all unpainted
metal surfaces with multipurpose grease
(NLGI grade 2 or 3). Store motor unattached.
