Checking individual drain lines from the pump to the multi-drain to ensure
proper drainage and protection from freezing - see page 65.

Disassembly of priming pump to clean vanes - - see page 66. (Also see sep-
arate manual provided.)
IMPORTANT !
DO NO USE A LUBRICANT ON THE PUMP VANES AND VANE SLOTS. LUBRI-
CANT AND COLD WATER FORM AN EVENTUAL GUMMY RESIDUE THAT REN-
DERS THE PRIMING SYSTEM INOPERATIVE. A COMPLETE AND THOROUGH
DISASSEMBLY AND CLEANING IS THEN REQUIRED.
❑
Run a yearly pump test to check performance levels - see page 66. (Also
see NFPA 1911 standard for more details.)
Pump Head Bearing Lubrication
❑
Every six (6) twelve
(12) months maxi-
mum, the pump head
bearings require fresh
lubrication, via the
grease fitting. (See
Figure 4-4: “Pump
Head Bearing Lubri-
cation.”)
❑
Use a Lithium-based
grease with 1% to 3%
Molybdenum Disul-
fate. For a listing, see
“Appendix C1: Lube
and Sealant Specifica-
tions” on page 139.
Change Gearbox Oil
1.
Place the pumping unit on a level surface allowing access to the gearbox
housing oil plugs. (See Figure 4-1: “Typical Drain, Fill and Level Plugs” on
page 57.)
