STORING
If the pump is not installed immediately (within one month after shipping date), it should be safely
stored prior to installation in a dry location free of dirt and grit. Furthermore, the pump unit (pump,
driver, etc.) should not be subject to sudden temperature changes or vibrations.
Observe the following steps:
1. Remove pump from shipping crate, but do not damage the crate because the unit is to be reboxed.
2. Remove all instruments and mechanical seal; store them safely.
3. Plug the instrument taps.
4. Thoroughly dry the pump with hot air.
5. Any painted surface damaged in shipment should be repainted or sprayed with oil.
6. Keep the pump moisture-free by the following two means:
a. Spray the pump case with acid-free, moisture-free, protective oil or kerosene.
b. Place desiccant or humidor bags inside the suction and discharge areas of the pump.
