3. Equipment Inspection

Check all equipment for completeness against the order and for any evidence of shipping damage.

Shortages or damage must be reported immediately to the carrier and your authorized

representative or distributor of OMNI

pumps.

4. Storage

4.1.1 Short Term

Storage of your OMNI

pump for up to 12 months is considered short-term. The

recommended short-term storage procedures are:

a) Store the pump indoors at room temperature in a dry environment.

b) The lubricating oil should be added to the gearbox prior to storage

c) If required by the operating environment, take precautions to prevent entry of water or

humid air into the eccentric enclosure.

d) Prior to startup, perform a complete inspection and then start up in accordance with

instructions in this manual.

4.1.2 Long Term

Every twelve months, in addition to the above short-term procedures, power up the motor and

operate the pump for a minimum of one hour. It is not necessary to have liquid in the reagent

head during this operation, but the suction and discharge ports must be open to atmosphere.

After twelve months of storage, Pulsafeeder’s warranty cannot cover items that are subject to

deterioration with age, such as seals, gaskets, and diaphragms. If the pump has been in

storage longer than 12 months it is recommended that these items be inspected and replaced

as necessary prior to startup. Lubricating oil should also be changed prior to startup.

Materials and labor to replace this class of item under this circumstance are the purchaser’s

responsibility. Consult your local Pulsafeeder representative for assistance in obtaining parts

and service for your pump.

5. Installation

5.1 Location

When selecting an installation site or designing a chemical feed system, consideration should be

given to access for routine maintenance.

OMNI

pumps are designed to operate indoors and outdoors, but it is desirable to provide a

hood or covering for outdoor service. External heating is required if ambient temperatures

below 0° C (32° F) are anticipated, especially if pumps are not in continuous duty. Check with

the factory if concerned with the suitability of the operating environment.

The pump must be rigidly bolted to a solid and flat foundation to minimize vibration, which can

loosen connections. When the pump is bolted down, care must be taken to avoid distorting the

base and affecting alignments. The pump must be level within 5°. This will assure that the

check valves can operate properly.
