Long-term storage (greater than six months) of Waukesha
Cherry-Burrell brand pumps:
1. Lubricate all bearings and seals, including:
• Rubber o-rings and mechanical seal faces (new pump
bearings installed from the factory are already
lubricated).
• Motors and drives (see manufacturer's instructions)
2. Be sure the pump contains no water. Make sure to
disassemble the wet end and wipe it dry if necessary.
3. Use rust inhibitor on any exposed metal surfaces:
• Any unpainted surfaces
• Shafts, nuts/bolts
4. Cover the inlet/outlet connections of the pumps to keep out
foreign materials.
5. Put all related instruction manuals in a separate water-tight
envelope or container and store them with the equipment.
6. Completely enclose the equipment to prevent contamination
from moisture, dust and other possible contaminants. Certain
types of plastic wrap materials, when properly used, make
excellent storage enclosures.
7. Rotate the pump and drive shafts several turns every 3
months.
1. Store in a dry location. Indoor storage is preferred. If stored
outdoors, the equipment must be in a weather-tight enclosure
and shielded from direct sunlight.
2. Maintain even temperatures to prevent condensation.
1. Remove the equipment from the enclosure and repair or
replace any damaged items before using equipment.
2. Check the electric motor (if applicable) per the
manufacturer's instructions.
3. Pumps:
• Completely disassemble the product contact liquid end
per the instruction manual.
• Clean and inspect all parts, including seals and o-rings.
• Replace rubber parts with any sign of age or damage,
such as cracks, taking a set, or loss of elasticity.
4. Lubricate the seal and o-rings and reassemble the liquid end
per the instruction manual.
5. Lubricate the motor/drive (if applicable) per the
manufacturer's instructions.
6. If the pump has been in storage longer than 1 year, change
the oil in the pump and drive.
