Storage

G
Proper Storage of the the pump stand for long periods of time is critical to reduce the
chance of rust, corrosion and fatigue of the equipment. This is especially true when
storing the pump stand in below freezing temperatures.
The following is a guideline for the type of cleaning and maintenance that should
be performed on this unit prior to storage. Your environment and uses may require
additional cleaning and preparation to assure that when the equipment is returned to
production, it performs in a safe, accurate and reliable manor.
A dust mask and protective rubber gloves shall be used when cleaning
the machine.
LIQUID SYSTEMS WITH STANDARD MIX TANKS
1. Perform steps 1 through 10 on page 49 in the maintenance section to clean the
chemical residue from each individual pumps stand in the system.
NOTICE
If the pump stand(s) will be exposed to possible freezing
temperatures, the final flush of the system should be made with
a non freezable liquid like recreational vehicle antifreeze.
2. Open all drain points, valves, and filter to let as much of the water drain as possible.
3. Release pump heads and remove tubing to prevent any unnecessary wear
(see page 17).
4. If the pump stand is equipped with a volumetric flow meter, disconnect power and
perform steps 10A through 10D in the maintenance section. If equipped with a
mass flow meter, remove the flow meter from the pump stand and rinse with clean
water.
5. Stand the flow meter upright allowing enough time for measuring pipe to air dry.
After it is dry, cover both openings.
