4.3. Storage
Newly supplied products are prepared that they can be
stored for 1 year. The product should be cleaned thorough-
ly before interim storage.
The following should be taken into consideration for
storage:
• Place the product on a firm surface and secure
it against falling over. Submersible mixers and aux-
iliary lifting devices should be stored horizontally,
submersible sewage pumps and submersible motor
pumps should be stored horizontally or vertically. It
should be ensured that they cannot bend if stored
horizontally.
Falling Hazard!
Never leave the pump unsecured!
Risque de chute !
Ne jamais laisser la pompe sans surveillance !
• The product has to be stored in a place free from
vibrations and agitation to avoid damage to the ball
bearings.
• The device should be stored in a dry place with-
out temperature fluctuation.
• The product may not be stored in rooms where
welding work is conducted as the resulting gases and
radiation can damage the elastomer parts and coat-
ings.
• Be careful to not remove or damage the corro-
sion resistant coatings.
• Any suction or pressure connections on products
should be closed tightly before storage to prevent im-
purities.
• The power supply cables should be protected
against kinking, damage and moisture.
• The cable will wick water into the pump if it is
not protected properly. Power cable lead should be
covered with shrink tubing or suitable sealing material
during storage.
Beware of electrical current!
Damaged power supply cables can cause fatal inju-
ry! Defective cables must be replaced by a qualified
electrician immediately.
Attention au courant électrique !
Des câbles d’alimentation endommagés peuvent
provoquer des blessures mortelles ! Les câbles dé-
fectueux doivent être remplacés immédiatement par
un électricien qualifié.
Beware of moisture!
Moisture penetrating cables can damage them and
render them useless. Therefore, never immerse ca-
ble ends in the pumped fluid or other liquids.
Attention à l’humidité !
L’humidité qui pénètre dans les câbles peut les en-
dommager et les rendre inutilisables. Par conséquent,
ne jamais immerger les extrémités des câbles dans
le fluide pompé ou dans d’autres liquides
• The machine must be protected from direct sun-
light, heat, dust, and frost. Heat and frost can cause
considerable damage to impellers, rotors and coat-
ings.
• The impeller must be turned at monthly intervals.
This prevents the bearing from locking and the film
of lubricant on the mechanical shaft seal is renewed.
This also prevents the gear pinions (if present on the
product) from becoming fixed as they turn and also
renews the lubricating film on the gear pinions (pre-
venting rust film deposits).
Beware of sharp edges!
Sharp edges can form on rotors and impellers.
There is a risk of injuries. Wear protective gloves.
Attention aux bords tranchants !
Les bords tranchants peuvent se former sur les ro-
tors et les turbines. Il y a un risque de blessures. Por-
ter des gants de protection.
• If the product has been stored for longer than six
month it should be cleaned of impurities such as dust
and oil deposits before start-up. Rotors and impellers
should be checked for smooth running, housing coat-
ing and damage.
• After remaining in storage for longer than one
year, it is necessary to change the oil in the seal
chamber. This is necessary even if the pump has nev-
er been run, due to natural deterioration of mineral oil.
Before start-up, the filling levels (oil, cooling fluid
etc.) of the individual products should be checked and
topped up if required. Please refer to the machine data
sheet for specifications on filling. Damaged coatings
should be repaired immediately. Only a coating that
is completely intact fulfils the criteria for intended
usage
!
If these rules are observed, your product can be stored
for a longer period. Please remember that elastomer parts
and coatings become brittle naturally. If the product is
to be stored for longer than 6 months, we recommend
checking these parts and replacing them as necessary.
Please consult the manufacturer.
4.4. Returning to the supplier
Products which are delivered to the plant must be clean
and correctly packaged. In this context, clean means
that impurities have been removed and decontaminat-
ed if it has been used with materials which are hazard-
ous to health. The packaging must protect the product
against damage.
P
lease contact the manufacturer before
returning!
