Operation Manual
over slowly for 10-15 seconds. Disengage the
PTO. Check the oil-level at the site gauge.
If the oil level is still visible in the gauge,
there is sufficient oil in the crankcase to
run the pump. Optimally, the level should
be halfway between the bottom of the site
glass and the ADD line.
The typical oil level for a pump that has been
operating and then brought to a stop is shown
in (Figure 135). The oil level will be at or near
the full mark only after the pump has been at
rest for 5 to 8 hours.
Power End
Checking Power End Oil Level
The most accurate method to check the oil is
when the unit is on level ground and has not
been in use for 5 to 8 hours. If the pump has
been in use and the oil needs to be checked
refer to the alternate methods as outlined in
procedure.
Note:
Because of varying factors such as
temperature, the oil in the pump
will completely settle between 5
and 8 hours.
1. Locate the sight gauge (Figure 134) on the
back of the power end case. With the pump
off (for 5 to 8 hours), the oil should be at the
Full level.
2. If the reservoir is low, add 80W/90 deter-
gent free gear oil while the engine is off.
Remove the fill plug and add oil through
the port in the back plate.
Alternate Oil Check Methods
Method 1:
If the pump is at or near
operating temperature and needs to be
stopped during operation for purposes of
checking the oil, stop the pump, wait 1-2
minutes and check the sight gauge. As long
as oil is visible in the gauge, the oil level
is acceptable. If oil needs to be added, add
80W/90 detergent free gear oil while the
engine is off. Remove the fill plug and add
oil through the port.
Method 2:
If the pump has been run
recently, but it is not known how long it has
been standing idle, the oil level can still
be reliably checked. With the unit on level
ground and the engine running at slow
speed, engage the PTO so the pump turns
!
!
CAUTION
Under no circumstances should you operate the
pump if there is no oil visible in the sight gauge at
rest no matter what method is used to check the
oil level.
