Storage
CAUTION
Damage due to dirt and humidity resulting in
corrosion and contamination of the pump
unit.
NOTICE
For special protection of electric motors, diesel
engines, and couplers, refer to the
manufacturer’s instruction for their long term
storage procedures.
5.3.1
Temporary Storage
If the pump is not to be installed and operated soon after
arrival, store it in a clean, dry place having slow moderate
changes in ambient temperature. Leave piping connection
covers in place to keep dirt and other foreign material out
of the pump casing.
Shaft extensions and other exposed machine surfaces
should be coated with an easily removable rust
preventative such as Valvoline Tectyl 502-C.
Rotate the pump shaft 10-15 times twice a month to coat
the bearings with lubricant and to retard oxidation,
corrosion, and to prevent false brinelling of the bearings.
5.3.2
Long Term Storage
Storage longer than six months is considered long term
storage. Follow the same procedure for temporary storage
with the following additions.
Remove the gland and the packing from the stuffing box.
Apply a corrosion inhibiting oil soluble product such as Cortec
Corporation VpCI-329, to the interior of the pump casing and
the stuffing box. [Prepare the corrosion inhibiting solution per
the manufacturer’s instructions].
Seal the end of the stuffing box with waterproof tape
Add 1/2oz [14g] of Cortec VpCI-329 to the bearing frames,
seal all vents and apply waterproof tape around the grease
seals.
Rotate the pump shaft 10-15 turns times at least every three
months to prevent the shaft from seizing up.
