Whenever pumps are multiplexed, the eccentric shafts are positioned to place a uniform load on
the driver. Before full disassembly always note the relative positions of the eccentric shafts to
each other so they can be reassembled in the same orientation.
3. EQUIPMENT INSPECTION
Check all equipment for completeness against the order and for any evidence of shipping
damage. Shortages or damage should be reported immediately to the carrier and your
Pulsafeeder representative.
3.1 STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS
3.1.1 Short Term
Storage of PULSAR pumps for up to 12 months is considered short-term. The recommended
short-term storage procedures are:
a) Store the pump indoors at room temperature in a dry environment.
b) Within two months after date of shipment, fill the eccentric box to its normal operating level
with PULSAlube 7H (purple) hydraulic oil. If required by the operating environment, take
steps to prevent entry of water or humid air into the eccentric enclosure.
c) Prior to start up, inspect housing, and gearbox. Replenish hydraulic and gearbox oils as
required to maintain operating levels. If water or condensation is present, change oil as
described under Equipment Startup.
d) Start up in accordance with instructions in this manual.
3.1.2 Long Term
Every twelve months, in addition to the above short-term procedures, power up the motor and
operate the pump for a minimum of one hour. It is not necessary to have liquid in the reagent
head during this operation, but the suction and discharge ports must be open to atmosphere. If
the pump is equipped with a PULSAlarm pressure leak detection system, See Appendix I on
page 33 for more information.
After twelve months of storage, Pulsafeeder’s warranty cannot cover such items which are
subject to deterioration with age such as seals and gaskets. If the pump has been in storage
longer than 12 months, it is recommended that such items be inspected and replaced as
necessary prior to startup. Materials and labor to replace this class of item under this
circumstance are the purchaser’s responsibility. For a continuance of the warranty after
extended storage, equipment inspection and any required refurbishing must be done by a
Pulsafeeder representative.
