GEARBOX (Optional)
The gearbox incorporates a cooling system, which utilises cold water diverted
from the main pump body to flow around the gearbox outer housing and then
return to the pump. The water is always flowing around the gearbox whenever
the pump is operating and pumping water. This section describes the gearbox
when it is in a vertical position in relation to the pump body, other positions are
possible.
The gearbox incorporates an oil filling point , an oil level check point and an oil
drain point for the routine maintenance of the unit. These points are duplicated on
both sides of the gearbox to allow for different installation arrangements.
The oil capacity of the gearbox is approximately 1.5 litres. The photograph below

The gearbox must be filled with approximately 1.5 litres of the recommended oil
before any operation commences. The recommended oil is BP Energol GR XP
68.
If this is not available, the following may be used – Elf Reductelf SP 68, Shell
Omala 68 or equivalent.
Undo the oil filling and level check plugs with a suitable spanner. Ensure no dust
or debris enters the gearbox when the plug is removed. Using a funnel, pour the
oil into the gearbox housing until it overflows from the check level plug. Replace
the plugs and hand tighten with a suitable spanner.
