9 STORAGE
9.1 Hose pump
•
Store the hose pump and pump parts in a dry
area. Make sure that the hose pump and 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.
•
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. To prevent this, remove
the pump hose when the pump is not going to
be used for more than one month.
9.2 Pump hose
•
Store the pump hose in a cool and dark room.
After two years the hose material will age, which
will reduce the life of the hose.
