following measures be taken for pump (set) storage.
CAUTION
Damage during storage by humidity, dirt, or vermin
Corrosion/contamination of the pump (set)!
▷ For outdoor storage cover the packed or unpacked pump (set) and accessories
with waterproof material.
CAUTION
Wet, contaminated or damaged openings and connections
Leakage or damage to the pump set!
▷ Only remove caps/covers from the openings of the pump set at the time of
installation.
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, observe the instructions

Return to supplier
1. Drain the pump as per operating instructions.
(⇨ Section 7.3 Page

2. Always flush and clean the pump, particularly if it has been used for handling
noxious, explosive, hot or other hazardous fluids.
3. If the pump set has handled fluids whose residues could lead to corrosion in the
presence of atmospheric humidity or could ignite upon contact with oxygen,
the pump set must also be neutralised, and anhydrous inert gas must be blown
through the pump to ensure drying.
