MAINTENANCE & REPAIR
PAGE E - 11
Be sure
the pump, pedestal and power source
have been properly lubricated, see
LUBRICA
TION
.
Fill the pump casing with clean liquid. Reinstall the
fill plug (49) and tighten it.
Refer to
OPERATION
, Section C, before putting
the pump back into service.
LUBRICATION
Seal Assembly
Fill the bottle oiler (14) with SAE No. 30 non‐deter
gent oil. Check the oil level regularly and keep the
bottle oiler full.
Bearing
The pedestal was fully lubricated when shipped
from the factory. Check the oil level regularly
through the sight gauge (34)
and maintain it at the
middle of the gauge. When lubrication is required,
add SAE No. 30 non‐detergent
oil through the hole
for the air vent (21).
Do not
over‐lubricate. Over‐lu
brication can cause the bearings to over‐heat, re
sulting in premature bearing failure.
NOTE
The white reflector in the sight gauge must be posi
tioned horizontally to provide proper drainage.
Under normal conditions, drain the bearing hous
ing once each year and refill with clean oil. Change
the oil more frequently if the pump is operated con
tinuously or installed in an environment with rapid
temperature change.
Monitor the condition of the bearing lubri
cant regularly for evidence of rust or mois
ture condensation. This is especially im
portant in areas where variable hot and
cold temperatures are common.
For cold weather operation, consult the factory for
the recommended grade of oil.
