LUBRICATING BEARINGS
Flood Oil Lubrication - Pumps are shipped without

connection until oil level reaches center of sight-glass
(Fig A). A high quality turbine type oil, with rust and
oxidation inhibitors should be used as specified in
Table 5.
Pure Oil Mist Lubrication - Pure oil mist is an
optional feature for the 3296. If your pump is equipped
with pure oil mist refer to oil mist generator
manufacturer’s instruction book for proper operation.
s

Operation of the unit without proper lubrication
will cause bearing failure, and pump seizure.
CONNECT CONDITION
MONITORING DEVICES
Always connect thermocouple to control panel and/or
temperature switch in driver starter. If unit is also
equipped with leak detection and vibration monitoring
systems, these must also be connected. (See Appendix
for wiring diagrams.)
PRIMING PUMP
Never start pump until properly primed (pump casing and
suction piping are full of liquid). Components such as
internal sleeve bearings depend on liquid for lubrication and
will quickly fail if run dry.
Your particular system conditions will dictate method
used to prime pump.
