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. To prevent this, remove a
pressing shoe. Jog the rotor until the second
pressing shoe is positioned between the inlet
and outlet port. In this way there is no load put
on the pump hose.
8.2 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.
