After the storing period, follow the next steps as start-up preparations:
1. Motor should be thoroughly inspected and cleaned to restore to an “As Shipped” condition.
2. Motors, which have been subjected to vibration, must be disassembled and each bearing
inspected for damage.
3. Oil and/or grease must be completely changed using lubricants and methods recommended
on the motor's lubrication plate, in the “LUBRICATION” section of the driver manufacturer’s
manual.
4. If storage has exceeded one year, the motor manufacturer’s Quality Assurance Department
must be contacted prior to equipment start-up for any special recommendations.
3.5 CONSERVATION
All exposed, machined, working surfaces (flanges, seals, surfaces supporting the motor), shaft ends,
unpainted couplings and the like have been cleaned and treated with anticorrosive agents. After being
cleaned, all parts inside the pump housing have been sprayed with anticorrosive agents.
The period of protection offered by these conservation measures is approximately 18 months if stored in
a dry place. If stored under unfavorable climatic conditions, this protective period may be considerably
reduced. Should the anticorrosive layer become damaged, it can be repaired by repainting or respraying.
Anticorrosive layers inside the pump housing must be removed with process
neutral solvents before commencing pump operation.
When removing the protective coating with a neutral solvent, follow the safety
instructions of the solvent manufacturer carefully.
The anticorrosive layer applied to the exposed parts does not need to be removed
before putting the pump into operation.
