5.4 Storage temperature range
○
In case of parts not filled with lubricant
the admissible storage temperature
corresponds to that of the admissible
ambient temperature of the pump (see
Technical data)
○
In case of parts filled with lubricant the
admissible storage temperature range is:
min. + 5 °C [+41 °F]
max. + 35 °C [+95 °F]
If the storage temperature range
is not adhered to, the following
work steps for replacing the lu-
bricant may not in all cases lead
to the desired result.
