SECTION B: GENERAL INFORMATION
B-1) To the Purchaser:
Congratulations! You are the owner of one of the finest pumps on the market today. Barnes® Pumps are
products engineered and manufactured of high quality components. Over one hundred years of pump building
experience along with a continuing quality assurance program combine to produce a pump which will stand up
to the toughest pumping projects.
This Barnes Pumps manual will provide helpful information concerning installation, maintenance, and proper
service guidelines.
B-2) Receiving:
Upon receiving the pump, it should be inspected for damage or shortages. If damage has occurred, file a claim
immediately with the company that delivered the pump. If the manual is removed from the crating, do not lose
or misplace.
B-3) Storage:
Short Term - Barnes Pumps are manufactured for efficient performance following long inoperative periods in
storage. For best results, pumps can be retained in storage, as factory assembled, in a dry atmosphere with
constant temperatures for up to six (6) months.
Long Term - Any length of time exceeding six (6) months, but not more than twenty four (24) months. The
units should be stored in a temperature controlled area, a roofed over walled enclosure that provides protection
from the elements (rain, snow, wind blown dust, etc.), and whose temperature can be maintained between +40
deg. F and +120 deg. F.
If extended high humidity is expected to be a problem, all exposed parts should be inspected before storage
and all surfaces that have the paint scratched, damaged, or worn should be recoated with a water base, air
dry enamel paint. All surfaces should then be sprayed with a rust-inhibiting oil.
