Operating Manual
2.4 Pump Storage
After receipt and inspection if the pump is not to
be installed immediately the pump should be
repacked and placed in suitable storage. The
following points should be noted:-
1.
Plastic or gasket type port covers should
be left in place.
2.
Pumps received wrapped with corrosion
inhibiting treatment material should be
rewrapped.
3.
A clean, dry storage free from vibration
location should be selected. When a
moist dusty atmosphere must be used for
storage, further protect the pump or unit
with a moisture repellent cover until it is to
be installed.
4.
Rotate pump/pump unit by hand, weekly
to prevent bearing damage.
5.
All associated ancillary equipment should
be treated similarly.
