Transport, storage and disposal
4.2 Treatment for storage
The pump has not been treated for storage at the factory.
Treatment is not necessary for non-rusting materials.
NOTE
Materialdamageduetomissing or inappropriate treatment
for storage!
Treat the pump properly, inside and outside, for storage.
4.2.1 Applying preservative to the inside
Spray the insert units with preservative (e.g. RUST-BAN
335) and shrink-wrap them in plastic film.
1. Close the suction-side flange with a bla nk flange.
2. With opposite flanges, turn the pump on the suction flange.
3. Fill the pu mp with preservative (e.g. RUST-BAN 335).
4. Turn the shaft slowly against the pump's sense of rotation.
5. Continue fi lling and turning until preservative escapes from
the pressure flange without bubbles.
6. Close the pressure-side flange with a blank flange.
4.2.2 Applying preservative to the outside
Apply preservative to all bare me tal parts.
4.3 Storage
NOTE
Material damage due to inappropriate storage!
Treat and store the pump properly.
1. Seal all openings with blank flanges, blind plugs or pl astic
covers.
2. Make sure the storage room meets the following condi-
tions:
–Dry
– Frost-free
– Vibration-free
–Dust-free
3. Turn the shaft once a month.
4. Make sure the shaft and bea ring change their rotational
position in the process.
5. Every 6 months:
– Renew the preservative if necessary (→ 4.2 Treatment
for storage, Page 13).
4.4 Removing the preservative
Only necessa ry for pumps treated for storage.
NOTE
High water press ure or spray water can damage bearings!
Do not clean b earing areas with a water or steam jet.
NOTE
Damage to seals due to wrong clea ning agents!
Ensure the cleaning agent does not corrode the seals.
1. Choose the cleaning agent accordi ng to the a pplication.
(→ 9.2.6 Cleani ng agents, Page 32).
2. Remove the preservative from all bare internal parts of the
pump.
3. Dispose of cleaning agents in accordance with local r egu-
lations.
4. For storage times in excess of 6 months:
– Replace the elastomer parts made of EP rubber
(EPDM).
– Check all elastomer parts (O-rings, shaft seals) for
proper elasticity and replace them if necessary.
4.5 Disposal
Plastic parts can be contaminated by poisonous or radioac-
tive pumped liquids to such an extent that cleaning will be
insufficient.
WARNING
Risk of poisoning and environmental damage by the
pumped liquid or oil!
Use personal protective equipment when carrying out any
work on the pump.
Prior to the disposal of the pump:
– Collect and dispose of any escaping pumped liquid or
oil in accordance w ith local regu lations.
– Neutralize residues of pumped liquid in the pump.
– Remove the prese r vative (→ 4.4 Removing the preser-
