CHANGE THE OIL
NOTE:
Frequency of oil change depends on the pump’s general working
conditions, severity of use, and overall cleanliness.
1.
For general shop conditions, change the pump oil every 300 hours.
2.
Drain, clean, and refill the reservoir per pump operating instructions with
Dextron III ATF or equivalent to within 1/2" of the top of the reservoir.
INSPECT DIE SETS
1.
Periodically inspect the surfaces of die sets for debris (metal chips, dirt, etc.)
or damage.
2.
If debris is present, clean and lightly lubricate. Damage requires replacement
(see “GC20 Schematic and Parts List” on page 2 for ordering information).
3.
Check screws holding fingers to cage to make sure they are tight. Tighten
if necessary.
