Start Up
17.
JR, JF & JSC —
Before operating the drive, check any fasteners,
pipe plugs, air vent, etc. which may have been loosened in the
course of Outfitting, Installing and Lubricating the drive, to be
sure that they have been properly retightened. Check correct
rotation of motor & backstop and be sure drive is properly
lubricated. After one week of operation repeat check of all
external fasteners and pipe plugs.
18. After one month of operation:
a) Operate the drive until the sump oil reaches normal
operating temperature. Shut the drive down and
drain immediately.
b) Immediately flush the drive with an oil of the same type
and viscosity grade as the original charge (warmed to
approximately 100°F in cold weather). Rapidly pour or
pump a charge equal to 25-100% of the initial fill thru
the drive, or until clean oil flows thru the drain.
c) Close the drain and refill the drive to the correct level
with new or reclaimed oil of the correct type and
viscosity. If determined to be in good condition by the
supplier, drain oil may be reused if it is filtered thru a
100 micron or finer filter.
