3.2 Storage/preservation
CAUTION
Damage during storage due to humidity, dirt or vermin
Corrosion/contamination of the pump (set)!
▷ For outdoor storage cover the pump (set) or the packaged pump (set) and
accessories with waterproof material.
CAUTION
Wet, contaminated or damaged openings and connections
Leakage or damage to the pump!
▷ Clean and cover pump openings and connections as required prior to putting
the pump into storage.
If commissioning is to take place some time after delivery, we recommend that the
following measures be taken for pump (set) storage.
▪ Store the pump (set) in a dry, protected room where the atmospheric humidity is
as constant as possible.
▪ Rotate the shaft by hand once a month, e.g. via the motor fan.
If properly stored indoors, the pump set is protected for a maximum of 12 months.
New pumps/pump sets are supplied by our factory duly prepared for storage.
For storing a pump (set) which has already been operated, the shutdown measures
must be adhered to. (ðSection6.3.1,Page48)
3.3 Return to supplier
1. Drain the pump as per operating instructions. (ðSection7.3,Page56)
2. Flush and clean the pump, particularly if it has been used for handling noxious,
explosive, hot or other hazardous fluids.
3. If the pump has handled fluids whose residues could lead to corrosion damage
in the presence of atmospheric humidity or could ignite upon contact with
oxygen also neutralise the pump and blow through with anhydrous inert gas to
ensure drying.
4. Always complete and enclose a certificate of decontamination when returning
the pump.
Indicate any safety measures and decontamination measures taken.
(ðSection11,Page75)
