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.
