Edwards nEXT85 - Storage; Pump Storage Procedure

Storage
Avoid long-term storage if possible. When long-term storage is necessary, the pump should be
set up and run for at least eight hours every six months.
Use the following procedure to store the pump.
1. Place
protecve covers over all ports, the main inlet, inter-stage exhaust, purge and
vent ports.
2. Place the pump in its packing materials. For fastest pump-down when the pump is put
back into service, seal the pump inside a plasc bag together with a suitable desiccant.
3. Store the pump in cool, dry condions, preferably not exposed to atmospheric air unl
required for use. When required, prepare and install the pump as described in Install
the nEXT85 on page 19.
4. Keep the pump upright at all mes to prevent the drainage of oil from the bearing
reservoir.
