2.1 UNPACKING / INSPECTION
Pumps are shipped Free on Board (FOB) 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 le 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 the
packing list to be sure that all items are accounted
for and intact.
2.2 STORAGE
2.2.1 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.
2.2.2 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
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 gases, 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
shelter; 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 inch 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.
2.2.3 Pump Drive and Gearboxes
A. Flood the gearbox compartments 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 rell the
equipment with the recommended running uids
and lubricants 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.
2.2.4 Pump Liquid Ends
Flood the front compartment of the pump housing
(if the model has a front compartment) with a high
grade Lubricating Oil / Rust Preventative such as
Mobil Oil Corporation product “Mobilarma 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. If the pump has a packed plunger style liquid
end, holes in the chamber for gland tightening
bolts will leak the oil, so ll the chamber only to
the bolt centerline. Brush the remaining exposed
metal parts thoroughly with general purpose
grease (NLGI grade 2 or 3).
