A neglected emergency pump is as useful as a parachute that won’t open. Follow these tips to keep yours ready:

1. Monthly Startup Tests: Activate the pump to ensure it starts under load and checks for unusual noises or vibrations.
2. Inspect Intakes and Hoses: Clear debris from intakes and check hoses for cracks or leaks.
3. Check Fuel/Power Systems: For diesel pumps, replace fuel annually and test batteries. For electric models, verify circuit breakers.
4. Lubricate Moving Parts: Grease bearings and seals to prevent friction-related failures.
5. Test Automatic Sensors: Ensure float switches or pressure sensors activate the pump at预设 levels.
6. Review Emergency Protocols: Train staff on pump operation and conduct annual drills.
7. Store Properly: Keep pumps in dry, ventilated areas with fuel stabilizers added to tanks.

Pro Tip: Document maintenance in a logbook to track parts replacements and performance trends.
