Storage & logistics

For workshops, storing high-pressure pumps requires controlled conditions to prevent contamination or seal degradation. Keep pumps in their original packaging until installation, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Rotate stock based on motorization demand to minimize obsolescence, and always inspect seals for cracks or dryness before fitting. For DIY users, store the pump in a clean, dry environment and avoid exposing it to fuel residues or moisture during transport.
