Refer to
for grease specifications. Grease lubrication is optional on
the Model 3175. These units can be identified by the grease fitting located on the bearing housing.
Bearings are lubricated at the factory. Do not grease at too frequent intervals.
To lubricate pump: Insert grease through grease fittings while shaft is rotating, until clean grease
appears through the relief caps.
NOTICE:
Risk of equipment damage. Ensure that the grease container, the greasing device, and the fit-
tings are clean. Failure to do so can result in impurities entering the bearing housing while re-
greasing the bearings.

Conversion From Oil to Greased Lubrication
NOTICE:
•
Grease can settle in equipment left idle leaving bearings improperly lubricated. Check
the greasing on a pump that has been out of service for a long period of time and re-
grease if necessary.
•
Avoid equipment damage or decreased performance. Never mix greases of different
consistencies (NLGI 1 or 3 with NLGI 2) or with different thickeners. For example, nev-
er mix a lithium-based grease with a polyurea based grease. If it is necessary to
change the grease type or consistency, remove the rotor and old grease from the hous-
ing before regreasing.
Figure 51: Grease lubricated bearings
a) For oil lubrication, both bearing end covers (inboard and outboard) are equipped with two 1/8"
taps that are plugged. To convert to grease lube, 1/8" Alemite fittings are installed in place of
these plugs.
b) Radial bearings are changed to have a shield on the frame reservoir side of the balls. The fol-
lowing are correct designations:
Frame
MRC Bearing No.
S
313 SF
M
317 MF
L
222 MF
c)
The bearing housing should have three 3.175mm| 1/8" recirculation openings plugged.
d) Bearing frame should have one recirculation opening at the radial bearing plugged.
e) Position of oil seals remain unchanged with lips facing away from bearings.
