Maintenance
1.
If equipped, the lubricator operation can be checked
by observing the drip tube located within the sight
glass well of the pump.
•
If the correct pumping rate is maintained, no
servicing is required other than periodic
replenishment of the reservoir.
•
If the sight glass well pumps dry or no flow is
observed, refer to
, page 11.
2.
Inspect the lubricator for worn or damaged
components, and replace as needed.
3.
Clean the lubricator periodically to eliminate any
contamination to the oil.
a.
Remove the Drain Plug (B) (F
. 3) and drain
the reservoir. Dispose of the oil according to all
applicable regulations.
b.
Remove the pumps.
c.
Clean the pumps and reservoir by brushing
loose all foreign matter, dipping in solvent and
blowing dry using compressed air.
d.
Reinstall the pumps and tighten (torque 110
in-lb +/- 10 in.lb, 12.43 N•m +/- 1.13 N•m).
e.
Apply thread sealant (user supplied) to the
Drain Plug (B), reinstall and tighten (torque 35
in-lb +/- 5 in-lb, 3.95 N•m +/- 0.6 N•m).
f.
Fill the reservoir, see
page 9.
Lube Refill/Replace
When needed, refill the reservoir with clean filtered
lubricant until it reaches the FULL line on the Sight
Glass (A) (F
. 3).
Monitor the fluid level using the sight level gauge on the
reservoir. The oil level should not be allowed to drop to
or below the EMPTY line (F
. 3), indicating an empty
reservoir.
Monitor the gearbox lubricant level regularly to ensure
proper lubrication.
Change the lubricant annually.
Moving parts can pinch, cut or amputate fingers and
other body parts.
Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure from your pump
manual, before performing maintenance of the pump.
