CONSERVATION

All exposed, machined, working surfaces (flanges, seals, surfaces supporting the motor), shaft
ends, and the like have been cleaned and treated with anticorrosive agents. After being cleaned,
all parts inside the pump housing have been sprayed with anticorrosive agents.
The period of protection offered by these conservation measures is approximately 18 months if
stored in a dry place. If stored under unfavorable climatic conditions, this protective period may
be considerably reduced. Should the anticorrosive layer become damaged, it can be repaired by
repainting or respraying.
Anticorrosive layers inside the pump housing must be removed with process neutral
solvents before commencing pump operation.
When removing the protective coating with a neutral solvent, follow the safety instructions
of the solvent manufacturer carefully.
The anticorrosive layer applied to the exposed parts does not need to be removed
before putting the pump into operation.
