2.2 Storing the Pump
Before putting the pump into storage, purge the pump before switching off
with an inert gas or air (depending on the specific application) for approxi-
mately 15 minutes.
Place a bag with desiccant in the discharge flange and onto the intake
screen in the inlet flange, and seal off the flanges with foil. Do not place the
desiccant, without the intake screen, directly into the inlet flange.
When shelving the pump for prolonged periods, drain out of the oil from the
pump.
Package in the pump air-tight in polyethylene foil.
Storage conditions
Temperature -20 °C to + 60 °C

When transporting/storing or shipping by airfreight a water cooled pump
where there is the risk of subjecting it to frost then the water may freeze
and damage the pump. For this reason before transporting or storing the
pump drain out the water. For this, see Section 4.3 Shutting Down.
