Pump Storage Requirements
•
The HPB™ unit must be protected from
sand, grit, and other foreign matter. For
long-term storage, the booster and all
other components should remain in their
original un-opened state. Both the unit
and its actuator (if equipped) are wrapped
and sealed in water/humidity proof foil with
desiccant bags added. The unit may be
stored at a temperature of 5-50° C or less
and/or a humidity level or 75% or less for an
indefinite period of time. Do not remove the
protective covers until ready to install.
