6 Storage and disposal
6.1 Storage
Observe the storage temperature limits stated in Section 2. Storage below -30°C will permanently damage the
pump seals.
Note: If you will store a new pump in conditions of high humidity, remove the pump from its cardboard packaging
box; dispose of the box (refer to Section 6.2).
Use the following procedure to store the pump:
1. Shut-down the pump as described in Section 4.
2. Isolate the pump from the electrical supply.
3. Close cooling water control valve.
4. Disconnect cooling water connections and allow water to drain from the pump.
5. Purge your vacuum system and the pump with dry nitrogen and disconnect the pump from your vacuum system.
6. Replace the oil as described in Section 5.4, paragraphs 3 to 8.
7. Place and secure protective covers over the inlet and outlet-ports.
8. Store the pump in cool, dry conditions until required for use. When required, prepare and install the pump as
described in Section 3. If the pump has been stored for more than a year, before you install the pump you must
clean and overhaul it as described in the instruction supplied with the clean and overhaul kit.
6.2 Disposal
Dispose of the pump and any components removed from it safely in accordance with all local and national safety and
environmental requirements.
You must take particular care with components and waste oil which have been contaminated with dangerous process
substances.
Do not incinerate fluoroelastomer seals and O-rings.
