Teflon Tape
In general, it is better to use pipe sealant rather than Teflon Tape due to the chance of
pieces of the tape coming loose and clogging the lube system. However, if the situation
mandates the use of Teflon Tape, always start the wrap two (2) or more threads from the
opening to prevent Teflon contamination of the hydraulic system.
Do Not Modify
Never modify the pump to perform beyond the rated specifications or use substitute parts
or components without first consulting and receiving written consent from Weatherford.
Failure to do so may put too much stress on certain components, which can result in
catastrophic equipment failure, serious injury and/or death.
