the hole for the oil hole cover (31). Do not over‐lu­
bricate. Over‐lubrication can cause the bearings to
over‐heat, resulting in premature bearing failure.
NOTE
The white reflector in the sight gauge must be posi­
tioned horizontally to provide proper drainage.
Under normal conditions, drain the intermediate
once each year and refill with approximately 7-1/2
ounces (22 ml) of clean oil. Change the oil more fre­
quently if the pump is operated continuously or in­
stalled in an environment with rapid temperature
change.
Monitor the condition of the bearing lubri­
cant regularly for evidence of rust or mois­
ture condensation. This is especially im­
portant in areas where variable hot and
cold temperatures are common.
For cold weather operation, consult the factory or a
lubricant supplier for the recommended grade of
oil.
Engine
Consult the literature supplied with the power
source, or contact your local John Deere engine
