PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE OF PUMP
Pump Gear Box:
Use SAE 90 Weight Gear Oil. Check oil level on the front of the pump
gear case at the plug marked “OIL LEVEL”. Oil level should be up to
the bottom of the of the plug opening. Level should be checked
monthly. While checking gear box oil level, look for evidence of water
contamination as indicated by a milky appearance of oil. If
contamination is noted, obtain a work order from the Department of
Fleet Management.
Auto Lube Bearing:
Check oil level annually. Oil should be up to the top of the reservoir.
Use SAE-EP 90 Wt. Gear oil. Oil fill is located on top of Auto lube
Bearing on the top front of the pump housing (small hex-key plug).
Pump Primer:
Oil-less priming pump, environmentally friendly priming system which
requires NO reservoir. Consequently, there is no siphon-break hole to
check.
Transfer Valve:
Clean gears and re-lubricate with dry lubricant every six month.
Operate daily.
Valve Linkages:
Clean push-pull rods and re-lubricate with dry lubricant every six
months. Lubricate valve rod pivot points with a light oil every six
months.
Pump Shift:
Lubricate the shift cylinder (located behind the pump panel, under the
pump) at least once a year by squirting a few drops of light cylinder
oil into the shift cylinder.
Tank to Pump:
Should be kept in the closed position until needed.
