• Keep dry and dust-free.
• Do not expose to aggressive media.
• Do not expose to any mechanical agitations and vibrations.
• Turn the shaft of the impeller via the front screw every two weeks to
prevent any storage damage. If it cannot be turned in the packaging,
remove the pump from the packaging and re-pack it once it has been
turned.

• Relative humidity: max. 60%.
• If storage exceeds 3months, check general condition of all parts and of
packaging at regular intervals.
