Transportation and Temporary Storage
Protect the pump against damage when transport-
ing.
The pumps may only be transported in a horizontal
position and hooks or straps must be attached on
the motor and pump end.
Store pump in dry and protected areas and protect
it against penetration of foreign bodies.
Always store pump above the freezing point!
Pumps are factory preserved.
If storage exceeds 6 months, the preservation
should be checked and reapplied if applicable.
Pumps that have been immersed or have been
running must be cleaned and preserved prior to
storage. This applies especially to water based
fluids!
4.1 Pump Preservation
4.1.1 Draining pump
Drawing 1
1. Separate pump and motor.
2. Clean the pump body thoroughly
3. Outlet (5) and Inlet port should be open.
4. Stand pump up with the coupling (2) facing up
tilting it in direction of the inlet port (3).
5. Turn motor shaft (1) counterclockwise. Keep
pump tilted until it is completely drained.

Pumps with mechanical seal –G or axial thrust
–A:
6. Place pump on a work bench (7) horizontally
with the threaded port facing up. The flange (8)
may not touch the surface. See picture 1.
7. Plug outlet port (5) with a sealing plastic cap.
8. Turn the motor shaft as quickly as possible
counterclockwise. This will allow for the re-
maining fluid to drain from the adjacent cavi-
ties (6).
9. Repeat steps 1-8 until no more fluid drains.
4.1.2 Pump preservation
Interior Preservation
1. Outlet (5) and inlet port (3) should be open.
2. Place pump on a work bench (7) horizontally
with the threaded port facing up. The flange (8)
may not touch the surface.
3. Pour preservation agent (spray oil) into the
inlet port (3) and turn motor (1) shaft clock-
wise until it becomes visible at the outlet port
and the fluid level of the oil is above the lowest
point of the labyrinth seal area.
Pumps with mechanical seal –G or axial thrust
–A:
4. Plug outlet port (5) with a sealing plastic cap.
5. Turn motor shaft (1) clockwise as quickly as
possible by hand in order for the preservation
agent to enter into the adjacent cavities (6).
Exterior Preservation
6. Preserve all unpainted metal components
Drain excess preserving agent and plug outlet and
inlet ports with plastic caps.
Collect draining coolant and oil and dispose in
