LUBRICATION
Proper lubrication is essential to maintain performance and to help ensure trouble free
operation.
Seal Assembly
Prior to starting the pump, remove the seal vent plug and fill the seal cavity with approximately
1 quart 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 (figure 4). Under normal use drain and refill bearing housing at
least once every 12 months.
CAUTION!!!
Over-filling of oil can result in premature failure of bearings.
PUMP STORAGE
Pumps are adequately prepared for outside storage prior to shipment, but use the following list
of additional suggestions for extended storage longer than four (4) weeks.
1) Store the unit off the ground so no water will accumulate around the equipment.
2) Protect unit from blowing sand and dirt.
3) Stack no other items on top of pump/equipment.
4) Protect unit from the entry of any animals.
5) Periodically rotate shaft to lubricate bearings and protect bearings from brinelling.
6) Protect unit with approved drying agents.
7) Ensure all bare metal areas are coated with rust preventative.
8) Inspect unit every four (4) weeks and replace drying agents (Silica Gel) as required or a
minimum of ever six (6) months.
9) Keep an inspection record showing dates of inspection with any maintenance preformed
and condition of drying agents.
10) Before installation ensure that all rust protection has been removed. Also, remove any
foreign material that may have accumulated during storage.
11) Before installation remove all drying agents (Silica Gel).
TROUBLE SHOOTING
An ongoing record of performance will assist in any troubleshooting and/or analysis of
problems. A pressure gauge can be installed on the suction and discharge side of the pump to
monitor any changes in differential pressure. Differential pressure is useful in monitoring and
diagnosing any possible degradation in pump performance.
