30 LRP200000228 Issue A
If the pump is to be stored for two months or more:
1. Drain the sealing liquid from the pump.
2. Remove the protective covers from the process inlet and outlet.
3. For cast iron construction pumps, spray a suitable corrosion inhibitor through the process inlet and/or
the process outlet, onto the internal surfaces of the pump.
4. Refit the protective covers to the process inlet and outlet.
5. Cover the pump with plastic sheet or PVC film. Place suitable anti-condensation materials (such as
desiccants) inside the sheet/film.
We then recommend that, every 30 days or less:
• For cast iron construction pumps, spray a suitable corrosion inhibitor through the process inlet
and/or the process outlet, onto the internal surfaces of the pump.
• Turning the drive shaft through three or four revolutions, to turn the pump and prevent seizure and
grease migration. Leave the shaft in a different location after rotation.
When required for use:
• Flush the pump with a suitable cleaning solution, to remove any corrosion inhibitor from the pump.
• Re-lubricate the pump bearings according to the manufacturer's instructions (refer to Section 2.5).
• Prepare and install the pump as described in Section 3.
