Storage

Newly supplied submersible pumps are prepared so that they can be stored for at
minimum 1 year. The pump must be cleaned thoroughly before it is put into temporary
storage.
Observe the following for storage:
• Place the pump on a firm surface and secure it against slipping and falling over.
Submersible pumps can be stored vertically or horizontally. If pumps are stored horizon-
tally, ensure that they do not bend.
Otherwise, impermissible bending stress can arise in the hydraulics and the pump
may be damaged. Support the hydraulics accordingly to prevent damage!
DANGER! Tipping loads!
Do not place the unit without having secured it.
Risk of injury if the pump tips over!
• New Wilo-Actun OPTI-QS submersible pumps can be stored in temperatures bet-
ween -20 °C and 50 °C. The storage area must be dry. We recommend a frost-proof
room for storage with a temperature between 5 °C and 25 °C.
• The submersible pump must not be stored in rooms in which welding work is carried
out, because the resulting gases or radiation can damage the elastomer components
and coating.
• The pump's suction and pressure connections must be permanently sealed to prevent
contamination.
• All connection cables must be protected against kinking, damage, and moisture ingress.
DANGER: electricity!
Damaged connection cables can cause fatal injury!
Defective cables must be replaced by a qualified
electrician immediately.
CAUTION: beware of moisture!
Moisture penetrating the cable will damage both
the pump and the cable. For this reason, never im-
merse the cable end in the fluid or any other liquid.
• The submersible pump must be protected from direct sunlight, heat, dust and frost.
• If the submersible pump has been stored for a long period of time, it must be cleaned
of impurities such as dust and oil residue before commissioning. Check the impellers
to make sure they run smoothly.
