inner metal components and not damage gaskets.
Spray preservers through suction/discharge ports,
especially in the area of wear rings.
In case of liquid preservers, fill half the pump,

then drain the body.
After the treatment, suction and discharge bores

inner metal components and not damage gaskets.
Spray preservers through suction/discharge ports,
especially in the area of wear rings.
In case of liquid preservers, fill half the pump,

then drain the body.
After the treatment, suction and discharge bores

inner metal components and not damage gaskets.
Spray preservers through suction/discharge ports,
especially in the area of wear rings.
In case of liquid preservers, fill half the pump,

then drain the body.
After the treatment, suction and discharge bores

inner metal components and not damage gaskets.
Spray preservers through suction/discharge ports,
especially in the area of wear rings.
In case of liquid preservers, fill half the pump,

then drain the body.
After the treatment, suction and discharge bores

5.3 Preservation for long lasting storage


When the unit is put into storage for more than 6
months, use suitable rust preventers to preserve
inner metal components and not damage gaskets.
Spray preservers through suction/discharge ports,
especially in the area of wear rings.
In case of liquid preservers, fill half the pump,
swing the shaft so, as all inner parts are wet and
then drain the body.
After the treatment, suction and discharge bores
as well as all other connections must be closed.

inner metal components and not damage gaskets.
Spray preservers through suction/discharge ports,
especially in the area of wear rings.
In case of liquid preservers, fill half the pump,

then drain the body.
After the treatment, suction and discharge bores
