Packed stuffing-box maintenance
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. Never
attempt to replace the packing until the driver is properly locked out.
Lubrication intervals

Replace the packing in this sequence:
1. Three rings of packing
2. Lantern ring
