Proper shutdown procedures are crucial for maintaining emergency pump reliability and longevity. This article outlines essential post-operation steps to ensure your emergency pump remains ready for its next critical use.
Immediate Cooling Period for Emergency Pumps
After emergency pump operation, allow proper cooling before performing any maintenance. Sudden temperature changes can damage seals and bearings. Never attempt to refuel or service a hot emergency pump.
Fluid System Management
For water-based emergency pumps, completely drain the system to prevent freezing or corrosion during idle periods. For fuel-powered models, either run the emergency pump until fuel depletion or add stabilizer to remaining fuel.
Component Inspection for Emergency Pumps
Conduct thorough visual inspection of all emergency pump components while the unit is still accessible. Check for:
Leaks at connection points
Unusual wear on moving parts
Loose fittings or mounting hardware
Battery Care (for electric models) for Emergency Pumps
Disconnect and properly store batteries from electric emergency pumps. Maintain charge at recommended levels and protect terminals from corrosion.
Documentation Requirements
Record operational details in the emergency pump log:
Total run time
Observed performance issues
Maintenance performed
Parts requiring future attention
Storage Preparation for Emergency Pumps
Store the emergency pump in a clean, dry environment if not returning to immediate standby position. Cover exposed openings to prevent dust accumulation while allowing ventilation.
Schedule a verification test after significant downtime to confirm the emergency pump remains operational. This is especially important following extended use periods.
