4.2.2 USED PUMP STORAGE
A used pump should be completely disassembled and all parts cleaned and
inspected. All unpainted metal surfaces should be coated with grease or suitable
protectant. All previously painted parts should be touched up or repainted.
Reassemble the pump as per Sections 7.0 and store as per Section 4.2.1.
4.2.3 SPARE PARTS STORAGE
Spare parts may not arrive at your site with adequate protection for long-term
storage unless it was specified in your parts order. It is the customer's responsibility
to ensure that all spare parts are prepared and packaged for long term storage.
Components such as mechanical seal assemblies and parts should be left in their
original sealed containers. The long-term storage of elastomer (rubber) parts must
be given consideration since elastomers may have a short shelf live under certain
circumstances.
4.3 HANDLING
Use care when moving pumps. Sling pumps so that any protruding components will not be
damaged. Do not use choke type sling or chain arrangements for skids or containers.
Make sure that the lifting equipment is rated to safely handle the weight of the pump and
auxiliary equipment.
See relevant general arrangement drawings (Section 8.0) or bills of materials for weight
information.
4.4
MECHANICAL SEAL INSPECTION
The pump was checked during assembly and testing for proper alignment of the pump
components. Rough handling during shipment, storage or preparation for installation could
cause damage to mechanical seals. POLARIS PUMPS are equipped with tandem
mechanical seals and should be checked for any oil leakage on the wet end side. This is to
ensure that the seal faces did not receive any damage during shipment, storage or
preparation for installation.
