Storage

9.1

Hose pump

•
Store the hose pump and pump parts in a dry area. Make sure that the hose pump and pump
parts are not exposed to temperatures lower than -40 °C or higher than +70 °C.
•
Cover the openings of the inlet and outlet ports.
•
Prevent corrosion of untreated parts. For this purpose use the correct protection or packaging.
•
After a long period of standstill or storage, the static load on the pump hose may have caused
permanent deformation, which will reduce the life of the pump hose and may cause difficulty
in starting.
To prevent deformation of the hose, remove a pressing shoe. Jog the rotor until the second pressing
shoe is positioned between the inlet and the outlet port. In this way there is no load put on the pump

hose.

9.2 Hose
•
The maximum shelf life for the hose is 2 years. Store the hose in a dark and dry place with
temperatures between 0 °C and 40 °C. After two years the hose material will age, which will
reduce the life of the hose.
9.3

Lubricant

•
Replace the pump lubricant in case of failure of the pump hose and in any case after one year.
•
Use the lubricant before the best-before date marked on the container.
•
The lubricant must be stored in closed bottles or cans to avoid absorption of moisture.
