2.1 UNPACKING/INSPECTION
Units are shipped Ex Works, Ivyland, Pa. and the
title passes to the customer when the carrier signs
for receipt of the unit. 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 ship-
ping 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 the packing list to be sure that all items are
accounted for and intact.
THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES
SHOULD BE FOLLOWED WHEN A
PUMP IS NOT PUT INTO SURVICE
UPON RECEIPT.
2.2 STORAGE
Short Term 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)
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 sur-
roundings 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 greatest extent possible.
When the instructions given in this section are
completed, the equipment is to be stored in a shel-
ter; 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 and Gearboxes
A. Flood the gearbox compartment with a high
grade lubricating oil/rust preventative such as
Mobil 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 equip-
ment with the recommended lubricant for
equipment commissioning.
B. Remove drive motors and mounting adapters,
and brush all unpainted metal surfaces with
multipurpose grease (NLGI grade 2 or 3).
Store these unattached.
Pump Liquid Ends
A. Flood the front compartment of the pump hous-
ing (if the model has a front compartment) with
a high grade Lubricating Oil/Rust Preventative
such as Mobil Oil Corporation product "Mobi-
larma 524."
1. If the pump has a diaphragm style liquid
end, fill the pump-housing compartment all
the way to minimize airspace and water
vapor condensation.
2. Most of the liquid ends themselves are con-
structed of inherently corrosion resistant
materials and require no applied corrosion
inhibitor. If they are NOT naturally resis-
tant (test the threaded or flanged inlet and
outlet connections - if they have little or no
magnetic property, they are resistant) they
should be flush filled with a corrosion inhib-
iting and non-freezing liquid which is com-
patible with the final pumped process
chemical. Flush and fill with inhibitors
such as "Mobilarma 524" or with a com-
mercial automotive antifreeze coolant.
