STORAGE
The following storage procedures apply to the pump
only. Other accessories such as motors, steam
turbines, gears, etc., must be handled per the
respective manufacturer’s recommendations.
TEMPORARY
Temporary storage is considered one month or less.
If the pump is not to be installed and operated soon
after arrival, store it in a clean, dry place having slow,
moderate changes in ambient temperature. Rotate the
shaft periodically to coat the bearings with lubricant
and to retard oxidation, corrosion, and to reduce the
possibility of false brinelling of the bearings. Shaft
extensions and other exposed machine surfaces
should be coated with an easily removable rust
preventative such as Ashland Oil Tectyl No. 502C.
For oil lubricated bearings, fill the frame completely
with oil. Before putting equipment into operation, drain
the oil and refill to proper level.
LONG TERM
Storage longer than one month is considered long
term storage. Follow the same procedure for
temporary storage with the following addition. Add
one half ounce of a corrosion inhibiting concentrated
oil such as Cortec Corp. VCI-329 (for both grease and
oil lubricated bearings). Seal all vents and apply a
water proof tape around the oil seals in the bearing
frame. Remember for oil lubricated bearings to drain
the oil from the frame and refill to the proper level
before running pump.

2. Install eyebolts in the three holes provided at the top of
the support, being sure to tighten securely. Attach
chain or wire rope using latch hook or standard shackle
and end loop.
Be sure to use shoulder eyebolts that are
manufactured per ANSI B18.15 and sized to fit the
holes provided.
Be sure lifting equipment is of sufficient length to
keep the lift angle less than 30° from the vertical.
