Even if the machine is properly stored, as described in the instructions above, in case of long term storage the 
following instructions must be taken into account. 
 
After a storage period of 6 months the lubricant should be replaced completely. 
 
In case of a storage period longer than 12 months, the machine shall be carefully checked and inspected
before installation. Following actions should be considered particularly: 
-  complete replacement of lubricants 
-  inspection of the bearings, they should be cleaned if necessary 
-  inspection of O-rings and gaskets (it is recommended to replace them) 
-  inspection of mechanical seal integrity (replace if necessary).
