Make sure the relief valve is set to 80 psi (551 kPa).
DANGER
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE ASSEMBLY BE
REPLACED AT EACH OVERHAUL, OR ANY TIME THE PUMP OVERHEATS AND
ACTIVATES THE VALVE. PERIODICALLY, THE VALVE SHOULD BE REMOVED FOR
INSPECTION AND CLEANING. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
PUMP LUBRICATION
Proper lubrication is essential to maintain performance and to help ensure trouble free operation.
MECHANICAL SEAL ASSEMBLY
Prior to starting the pump, remove the seal vent plug and fill the seal cavity with approximately 1 quart (33 oz) of
ISO VG 32 viscosity grade 32 turbine oil, so that the oil level is halfway in the level sight gauge.
BEARINGS
The bearing housing was lubricated at the factory and should be maintained at the middle of the sight gauge. Use
an ISO viscosity grade 32 turbine oil and fill through the air vent hole at the top right of the bearing frame. Under
normal use, drain and refill bearing housing at least once every 12 months.
CAUTION
Over-filling with oil can result in premature failure of bearings.
STORAGE
