Under normal operating conditions, an oil of 300 SSU viscosity at 38°C | 100°F. (approximately SAE-20)
should be used. For extreme conditions refer to the factory or a lubrication expert for a recommendation.
Fill the bottle with the proper grade of oil and replace in the oiler housing. Oil reservoir in bearing housing
is filled when an oil level remains in the bottle. Several fillings of bottle will be required. Never fill through
the oil vent or through the oiler without use of the bottle.
Grease 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 nec-
essary.
Grease lubricated pumps can be identified by the grease fittings located on the bearing housing. Suffi-
cient lubricant is inserted at the factory for 2,000 hours of operation. Do not grease at too frequent inter-
vals.
It is suggested that additional or replacement lubricant be added after 2,000 hours or at three-month in-
tervals.
The lubricant should be renewed in the housings at least once annually. This should be done when the
annual overhaul is made.
The grease should be of sodium lithium base, NGLI #2 consistency. Do not use graphite. Further greas-
ing instructions are included in
6.2 Lubricate the Pump on page 51
.
Vertical Pump Bearings
The bearing above the pump support plate is a ball bearing and is grease lubricated. Follow the previous
instructions for grease lubrication.
The pump steady bearings (below the pump support plate) are sleeve type and made of various materi-
als depending upon the application of the pump. See
6.2 Lubricate the Pump on page 51
details.
Close-Coupled Pumps
"Close-coupled" pumps contain no pump bearings. The only bearings in the unit arc contained within the
motor. Make sure that the motor bearings are properly lubricated. Refer to the motor manufacturer for
instructions.
5.3 Driver Bearing and Coupling
Check to be sure that driver bearings are properly lubricated. Contact the motor manufacturer for lubrica-
tion instructions. Refer to coupling instructions supplied separately for coupling lubrication.
5.4 Stuffing Box Packing
WARNING:
•
Packed stuffing boxes are not allowed in an ATEX-classified environment.
•
Failure to disconnect and lock out driver power may result in serious physical injury or
death. Always disconnect and lock out power to the driver before performing any installa-
tion or maintenance tasks.
