4-6. Pump Storage
In warm temperatures store pump either entirely full of water or completely empty.
Pumps stored partially full of water will rust at the air-to-water interface.
In freezing temperatures store pumps dry, without any water in the pump chamber.
4-7. Primer Pump Lubrication
Figure 4-2: Primer Pump Lubrication Fluid or Oil Reservoir
POM0031
Some primer pumps require a lubricating fluid or oil. The fluid reservoir
(Figure 4-2)
is normally located in the pump
house behind an access panel or access door.
For oil-type priming pumps, the lubricant is expelled with the air as the pump is primed.
Use only lubricating fluid that is approved by the manufacturer of the pump and approved for use in the environment.
Store pump completely full of clean water, or completely dry.
Do not leave pump partially full of water.
Always store pump dry in freezing weather.
Use environmentally-friendly priming lubricants or use procedures that capture the oil as it is expelled.
Expelling standard motor oil used as a lubricating fluid in the primer pump does not meet EPA
regulations.
