pump e.g. inlet and outlet flanges, to inhibit corrosion.
During storage, every 14 days or less, turn the pump drive shaft by hand through a quarter of a
revolution, to turn the pump and prevent seizure or degradation of the bearings. Care should be
taken to ensure the shaft is left in a different position every time.
