Motor Housing Cavity
To check the motor cavity oil, position the pump on
its side with the pipe plug (35) facing up. Remove
the plug and install a short, 3/8-inch pipe nipple in
the hole. Using a clean container, roll the pump
slightly until oil runs out.
Inspect the oil for dark color, which could indicate
motor overheating, dirt or water contamination.
The presence of dirt or water could indicate a
breakdown in the waterproof integrity of the motor
cavity, probably due to poor gaskets or seals.
When lubrication is required, position the pump
upright and remove the oil level plug (35). Remove
the pipe cap (64) from the tee where the pressure
relief valve is located, and the recommended
grade of submersible pump oil until oil runs out of
the oil level pipe plug hole. Apply `Loctite Pipe
Sealant With Teflon No. 592.' or equivalent to the
threads of the pipe plugs before reinstalling the
plugs.
When lubricating a dry (overhauled) pump, add
approximately 13.4 U.S. gallons (50,5 liters) of lu
bricant (see Table E-3 for lubricant specifica
tions).
