Appendix G—Flush and Storage Instructions for the PT-Series Pump
If a PT-Series pump is removed from service for some time, the pump must be protected. Piping and tanks not in service
should also be protected, as the rust particles can destroy the pump’s seals almost immediately after start-up.
1. Fill or thoroughly flush the pump with a light rust inhibiting oil. If the pump is flushed with oil, place some desiccant
packets inside the pump for added protection.
2. Plug all pump openings.
3. Store in a dry location.
4. Before placing the pump back into service, drain the oil and remove any desiccant packets.
5. Refer to “Operation of the PT-Series Pump”.
