The figures given in the table are minimum lubricant
amounts. Larger amounts can be used, but in such cases
the lubricant may leak through the breather piping of
the housing, or the hose leak detector may not work
correctly.

Required grease additions:
The bearings of the pump unit are greased by Valmet
Flow Control Oy for three months of operation in normal
conditions. Add 5% of grease to the frame bearings after
every three months of operation. Add grease to the rotor
bearings after each hose replacement. The suitable grease type
for the bearings is SKF LGHP2 or equivalent.
Do not add too much grease to the bearings. It might
force the seals out of their positions.
Needed amount of grease depends about the hose
replacement interval and pump utilization degree.
