NOTE
The white reflector in the sight gauge must be posi­
tioned horizontally to provide proper drainage.
Under normal conditions, drain the bearing hous­
ing once each year and refill with approximately 16
ounces (0,5 liter) of clean oil. Change the oil more
frequently if the pump is operated continuously or
installed 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.

source, or contact your local power source repre­
