PI Operation Manual
Attach red tags with a “Remove Moisture Absorbent Material Bags Prior to
Installing” to warn about the presence of this desiccant material.
7. Cover all the openings with plywood or metal covers. Recheck the condition of these covers
every month and replace as necessary.
8. If the pump’s external parts have protective coatings, periodically inspect and renew the coating
as required.
9. Rotate the shaft 1 ¼ revolutions every week.
The client must keep a record of the weekly rotation of the shaft. Failure to
document and present these records as evidence will void the warranty.
10. Check the packaging for damage every month.
11. Ensure pump flange covers remain in place.
12. Return the unit to the shipping crate.
13. When the pump is to be installed, remove all the protective coatings and desiccant or drain
all oils.
One month before installation, a WDM Pumps representative should be employed to conduct a
final inspection.
To properly store the motor (driver) for periods longer than one month, follow these steps:
1. Store the motor in a clean, dry area, or cover it with a loose tarp (the tarp must be loose in order
to prevent condensation).
2. Exercise precautions to avoid transit or nesting of rodents, snakes, birds, and insects.
3. Inspect and, if necessary, recoat the rust preventive coating of external machined surfaces.
4. Fill with lubricant the grease-lubricated cavities of the motor, but first remove the drain plug and
fill the cavity until the grease starts to purge.
Follow the instruction manual of the driver manufacturer to ensure the
lubrication is performed properly.
