Pump Output Shaft Lubrication
The pump output shaft must be lubricated periodically to preserve the life of the seals. Good seal condition
will prolong the life of the motor by preventing moisture and other contaminants from entering the motor
case. Lubrication will require a hand pump grease gun with a standard hydraulic coupler.
Grease Procedure
Interval
: All models, every 300 fill cycles.
1.
Remove the three nuts securing the filter basket to the top mount ring and pull the filter basket free
from the pump assembly.
2.
Gently apply one to two pumps of grease to the grease nipple using
enough to purge grease
through the seal.
3.
Check for dirt of gravel accumulation between the seal cup and the bottom shank of the impeller.
Also, clean out any dirt and debris that may have accumulated inside the filter basket.
4.
Re-install the filter basket.
Caution
The lubrication of the pumps output shaft seals is critical to the longevity of the pump. Failure to
follow the recommended lubrication intervals may result in premature pump failure. See this
section’s instructions on pump output shaft lubrication intervals.
Important Note
Regular air fills do not count as fill cycles if pumps are not operated.
