Lubricant emptying and filling procedure
The quality of the lubricant inside the pump is deteriorating with time. It has to be replaced after
every two hose changeovers or 5000 hours of operating time, whichever comes first. What is more,
the lubricant has to be replaced every time it becomes contaminated e.g. if a hose rupture occurs.
NOTE!
Proceed with this procedure only after familiarizing oneself with the instructions at the
beginning of chapter 3.
