plugs or blank flanges.
• Store in dry, dust free conditions protected from frost or ex-
cessive heat.
• Turn the rotating assembly on the shaft or coupling a few
times every 2 weeks and leave in a different angular position.
• Long-term storage (over 3 month) preservation required.
• Long-term storage (over 2 years) renew the lubricants before
installing the pump.

Please refer also to the sectional drawings in paragraph 7.4.
2.2.1
The pump casing is equipped with a suction side wearing ring.
On discharge side, the casing cover is the wear part. At disas-
sembly of motor, mechanical seal, impeller and pump shaft the
casing stays in the piping (process construction).

2.2.2
The pumps are equipped with closed radial impellers. For some
pump sizes alternatively Vortex impellers (.F) or two-channel
impellers (.Z) are available.
2.2.3
For pumps with IEC standard motor (execution B) the pump
shaft is connected via a rigid coupling to the motor shaft. For
pumps with special motors (execution BS) the impeller is direct-
ly mounted to the extended motor shaft. The direct-coupled mo-
tor is bearing the pump part.
2.2.4
The fitted shaft sealing arrangements are described in detail in
the contract documentation.
A constant venting of the mechanical seal area has to be en-
sured.
