UNPACKING
Pumps are shipped f.o.b. factory or representative warehouse and the title passes to the customer when
the carrier signs for receipt of the pump. In the event that damages occur during shipment, it is the
responsibility of the customer to notify the carrier immediately and to file a damage claim.
Carefully examine the shipping crate upon receipt from the carrier to be sure there is no obvious damage
to the contents. Open the crate carefully so accessory items fastened to the inside of the crate will not be
damaged or lost. Examine all material inside the crate and check against packing list to be sure that all items
are accounted for and intact.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When installing, operating, and maintaining the Series G pump, keep safety considerations foremost. Use
proper tools, protective clothing, and eye protection when working on the equipment and install the
equipment with a view toward ensuring safe operation. Follow the instructions in this manual and take
additional safety measures appropriate to the liquid being pumped.
Be extremely careful in the presence of
hazardous substances (e.g., corrosives, toxins, solvents, acids, caustics, flammables, etc.).
STORAGE
Temporary Storage (Less than 6 Months)
It is preferable to store the material under a shelter in its original package to protect it from adverse
weather conditions. In condensing atmospheres, follow the long term storage procedure.
Long Term Storage (Longer than 6 Months)
Primary Considerations
The primary consideration in storage of pump equipment is to prevent corrosion of external and internal
components. This corrosion is caused by natural circulation of air as temperature of the surroundings
change from day to night, day to day, and from season to season. It is not practical to prevent this circulation
which carries water vapor and other corrosive gasses, so it is necessary to protect internal and external
surfaces from their effects to the extent possible.
When the instructions given in this section are completed, the equipment is to be stored sheltered;
protected from direct exposure to weather. The prepared equipment should be covered with a plastic sheet
or a tarpaulin, but in a manner which will allow air circulation and prevent capture of moisture. Equipment
should be stored 12 inches or more above the ground.
If equipment is to be shipped directly from Milton Roy into long term storage, contact Milton Roy to
arrange for factory preparation.
Pump Drive
1. Flood the gearbox compartment with a high grade lubricating oil/rust preventative such as Mobile Oil
Corporation product "Mobilarma 524." Fill the compartment completely to minimize air space and water
vapor condensation. After storage, drain this material and refill the equipmen t with the recommended
lubricant for equipment commissioning.
2. Remove drive motor and liquid end, and brush all unpainted metal surfaces with multipurpose grease
(NLGI grade 2 or 3). Store these unattached.
