3. USE (continued)
3.6 Shutting down the pump
When shutting down the pump, we recommend waiting
for it to stop completely before closing the valves, espe-
cially the inlet valve.
3.7 Storage
3.7.1 Short duration (≤ 1 month)
MOUVEX pumps and motor-driven pumps are well lubri-
cated when delivered to protect the internal parts during
brief storage in a building where :
• the temperature remains between 10°C and 50°C.
• the relative humidity does not exceed 60%.
• exposure to vibration is limited (maximum movement :
0,05 mm).
• pump is stored in an area sheltered from bad weather
and sun.
3.7.2 Long duration (> 1 month)
We recommend the following procedure for longer periods
of storage :
The recommendations from the manufacturer should be
followed if the pump is stored with its gear motor.
Pump ports should be filled with a non-corrosive liquid
that it compatible with the pump components in order to
prevent corrosion.
Unpainted external surfaces of the pump (e.g. shafts,
couplings, etc.) should be covered in some form of anti-
corrosion protection.
The bearing should be well greased. If the pump is to be
stored for more than three years, the grease should be
replaced every three years to prevent it degrading (see
§ CHANGING THE BEARING for how to remove the cover).
The best storage conditions are inside a building that
meets the conditions set out above.
If inside storage is not possible, the materials should be
covered to prevent direct exposure to sun and bad wea-
ther. This protection should also prevent condensation.
It is recommended to turn the pump by hand every two
months to distribute the lubricant around the interior.
Items should then be placed where there is no risk of
damage if they are moved slightly by vibrations.
3.7.3 Restarting
Follow the standard start-up procedure for the pump/
motor-driven pump, as well as the instructions below.
Turn the pump by hand to make sure the parts move
freely.
Remove the cover as explained in § CHANGING THE
BEARING and replace the grease used to lubricate the
bearing.
If the pump has a safety bypass, remove it and inspect
the parts and make sure they move freely (see §
BYPASS for removal instructions).
3.8 Lubrication
If the type of liquid requires it, the pump should be lubri-
cated before each start-up, after each shutdown and
every 3 or 4 hours during continuous operation.
Preference should be given to lubricants that will not dis-
solve in the pumped liquid and, if hot liquids are invol-
ved, to lubricants that maintain their viscosity at opera-
ting temperatures.
3.9 Scrapping
The pump must be scrapped in compliance with the
regulations in force.
During this operation, particular care must be paid to the
drainage stages of the pump (pumped product).
WARNING
IF PUMPING HAZARDOUS OR TOXIC
FLUIDS, THE SYSTEM MUST BE FLU-
SHED PRIOR TO PERFORMING ANY
SERVICE OPERATION.
Toxic or hazardous
fluids can cause
serious injury.
