The pump will not be supplied pre-filled with oil therefore this table must be used to
select recommended oil.
Oil changing: Oil level must be checked with the pump static.
First change: After 150 hours of operation, thereafter every 3000 hours of operation.
Oil filling:
Fill with oil through the filler plug to the level indicated in the oil level
glass.
Recommended oils
Horizontal
When the pump is mounted in the horizontal position (e.g. the pipe joints are in the
horizontal plane) the oil level glass must ALWAYS be installed in the UPPER of the two
threaded holes provided in the gearbox. This will guarantee, on inspection, that the oil
level will reach the gearbox bearings. The lower hole is to be plugged with the standard
plug, position nr. 0915. The oil level glass is always installed as described above on
delivery from SPX Process Equipment.
If the customer, after delivery, decides to turn the pump “upside down” in order to have
the drive shaft in a different position, then the above instructions must be followed.
