11. Tighten all nuts on the guard assembly.

WARNING:
Never operate the pump without the coupling guard correctly installed.

Bearing lubrication

WARNING:
Make sure to properly lubricate the bearings. Failure to do so can result in excess heat generation,
sparks, and premature failure.

NOTICE: Be certain to check the greasing on a pump that has been out of service for a long
period of time and re-grease if necessary.

Pumps are shipped without oil. You must lubricate oil-lubricated bearings at the job site.
Grease-lubricated bearings are lubricated at the factory.
The bearing manufacturer fills greased-for-life bearings with grease and seals them at the
factory. You do not need to lubricate or seal these bearings.
