8 STORAGE
8.1 Hose pump
Store the hose pump or pump parts in a dry area. Make sure that the hose pump or pump
parts are not exposed to temperatures lower than - 40 °C or higher than + 70 °C.
Cover the openings of the inlet and outlet ports.
Prevent corrosion of untreated parts. For this purpose use the correct protection or
packaging means.
After a long period of standstill or storage, the static load on the pump hose may have
caused permanent deformation, which will reduce the life of the pump hose.
8.2 Pump hose
Store the pump hose in a cool and dark room. Pump hoses have a limited storage life. After
2 years the hose material will age, which will reduce the life of the hose.
