Maintenance Schedule
1. Inspect the unit frequently, especially at start
up and if the operating conditions change to
determine if the system is operating as expected.
Pay close attention to the condition of the
lubricating oil and to any liquid accumulations.
2. The pump and filter maintenance schedules
are established based on normal operating
temperatures and contaminant loads. If operating
in environments exceeding 85F the oil may require
more frequent changing and filters may require
more frequent attention if loads are higher.
3. Operation with gases that have oxidizing
properties in the process stream may require
more frequent oil and oil filter changes.
4. Some operating conditions may require more
frequent changing of separator filters. If exhaust
stream contains significant oil, or if the pressure
in the crankcase is higher than normal, follow
instructions in the pump manual.
5. If oil in the pump becomes milky or foamy, follow
instructions in the pump manual.
