3.3 Storage
The pumping station is suitable for storage. Enclosed, dry and dust-free rooms are suit-
able storage locations.
Check that all the openings on the pumps are securely closed.
Store the pumping station only indoors, preferably at temperatures between -10 °C
and +40 °C.
– For a longer period of storage, leave the pumping station in its original packaging
or cover with a plastic sheet.
– After a period of storage longer than one year, it is recommended to carry out main-
tenance and change the operating fluid and lubricants prior to commissioning.
WARNING
There is a risk of injury if the system is not transported properly.
Danger to life from falling or protruding loads if the system is not properly secured to lift-
ing devices or is not transported properly.
Use suitable lifting devices and tools.
Ensure that the weight is distributed evenly (danger of tipping!).
Test the hanging for high center of gravity.
NOTICE
Note the risk of corrosion for storage
Storage of vacuum pumps can lead to corrosion and aging of lubricants/operating
fluids and elastomer seals.
Observe the notes in the operating manuals for the individual components.
Change lubricants and operating fluids before restarting operation.
