4.3 Storage
NOTICE
Corrosion is possible due to storage in humid conditions with fluctuating temperatures!
Condensation can corrode windings and metal parts.
Store the pump/unit in a dry environment at a temperature which is as constant as possible.
NOTICE
There is a risk of damage to the threads and entry of foreign matter due to open ports!
Do not remove the port covers until the pipes are ready to be connected.
The shaft must be turned by hand once every three months for example via the motor fan or the pump
shaft.
Fill the pump with antifreeze agent in order to protect the pump against frost. Use glycol, for example.
Storage at temperatures from -10 °C to +40 °C.
Storage in relative dampness from 5 % to 80 % at 20 °C. No condensation.
4.4 Returns
–
Drain the pump completely.
–
Clean the pump and rinse it with clear water, especially with hazardous or risky pumped fluid.
–
In addition the pump must be neutralised and blow dried with an anhydrous, inert gas if pumped
fluids are used which
• cause corrosion damage when in contact with air humidity.
• ignite when in contact with oxygen.
–
Complete the declaration of clearance and return it with the pump.
