Home ButtonIndex Button     

Initial Set Up

  • Drain all liquid from the pump.
  • Rotate the pump shaft.
  • Spray the interior of the pump volute with an oil mist. Remove the
    back cover to ensure complete coverage. After fogging, reinstall back cover assembly.
  • Completely fill the pump’s seal and bearing cavities to guard and lubricate against moisture intrusion.
  • Close all piping.

Weekly Inspection

  • Rotate the pump shaft no less than 6 revolutions to ensure lubrication
    coverage over the bearings. If the pump fails to rotate, loosen the
    back cover and repeat.

Start Up

  • Drain the bearing and seal cavities and refill to the proper levels with
    SAE 30, non-detergent motor oil.
  • Inspect the drive for alignment for coupling or v-belt applications and
    tension for v-belt applications.
