2.2 Temporary storage
If you do not store or operate the pump soon after
arrival, store it in a clean, dry place with slow,
moderate changes in ambient temperature. Protect
the pump from moisture, dust, dirt and foreign bodies.
Avoid exposing the motor to direct, intense sunlight,
rain, snow, ice and also dust for an extended periods
of time. Attach a covering structure or an additional
cover when using or storing the product outdoors.
Before and during storage we recommend these
precautions:
1. Make sure that the bearings are filled with the
recommended grease to prevent moisture from
entering around the shaft. See section
Lubrication.
2. Make sure that the inlet and outlet ports and all
other openings are covered with cardboard, wood
or masking tape to prevent foreign objects from
entering the pump.
3. Cover the unit with a tarpaulin or other suitable
covering if it is to be stored where there is no
protective covering.
4. Rotate the shaft two turns every two weeks to
prevent corrosion of the bearing surfaces and the
stuffing box or sticking of the shaft seal faces.
