2 Transport and Storage
For transportation lift the pump at the crane eye or safely secured on a suita-
ble pallet.
The pump must not be tilted more than 30 degrees during transport.
For transports over short distances slightly lift the pump at the front side and
move it to the desired location.
Storage
Store the pumps only horizontally standing on their feet and castors.
The pump has been blanked off with blank flanges. Open the pump only
immediately before installing it.
Until putting the pump into service, store the pump in a dry place preferably
at room temperature blanked off with the supplied blank flanges.
The pump must be stored at the most for one year only. Longer storing with-
out turning the rotors will damage the bearings. Therefore, if you are storing
the pump for longer periods, it should be run once a year for at least 45 min-
utes and then returned to storage, as described in the following sections.
(The intake flange can stay sealed during this brief operation, the exhaust
flange must be opened.)
