2. Equipment Inspection
Check all equipment for completeness against the order and for any evidence of shipping damage.
Shortages or damage should be reported immediately to the carrier and your authorized
representative for PULSAR Shadow
® pumps.
3. Storage Instructions
3.1 Short Term
Storage of PULSAR Shadow
® pumps for up to 12 months is considered short-term. The
recommended short-term storage procedures are:
1. Store the pump indoors at room temperature in a dry environment.
2. Within two months after date of shipment, fill the eccentric box to its normal operating level
with Pulsalube 9M oil. If required by the operating environment, take any steps required to
prevent entry of water or humid air into the eccentric enclosure.
3. Prior to start up, inspect housing, and gearbox. Replenish eccentric and gearbox oils as
required to maintain operating levels. If water or condensation is present, change oil as
described under Equipment Startup, Section 5.
4. Prior to startup, perform a complete inspection and then start up in accordance with
instructions in this manual.
3.2 Long Term
Every twelve months, in addition to the above short-term procedures, power up the motor and
operate the pump for a minimum of one hour. It is not necessary to have liquid in the reagent
head during this operation, but the suction and discharge ports must be open to atmosphere.
After twelve months of storage, Pulsafeeder’s warranty cannot cover items that are subject to
deterioration with age such as seals and gaskets. If the pump has been in storage longer than 12
months it is recommended that such items be inspected and replaced as necessary prior to startup.
Materials and labor to replace this class of item under these circumstance are the purchaser’s
responsibility. For a continuance of the initial warranty after extended storage, equipment
inspection and any required refurbishing must be done by a Pulsafeeder representative.
