9 STORAGE
9.1 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 (-40°F) or higher
than + 70°C (158°F).
Cover 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 hose life.
9.2 Pump hose
Store the pump hose in a cool and dark room. Pump
hoses have a limited storage life. It is strongly advised
not to store the hose longer than 2 years.
