Lubricate the bearings with oil
WARNING:
Make sure to properly lubricate the bearings. Failure to do so can result in excess heat generation, sparks,
and premature failure.
NOTICE:
The pump is not filled with oil when delivered. Fill with oil before operating the pump.
• Determine which procedure to use in order to fill the bearing frame with oil:
If... Then...
The pump has an oil level sight glass (standard
design)
Use the "Fill the bearing frame with oil" procedure.
The pump has a constant level oiler (optional) Use the "Fill the bearing frame with an optional
oiler" procedure.
Fill the bearing frame with oil
NOTICE:
Maintain an exact oil level. If the oil level is too high, the bearing temperature can increase. If the oil level
is too low, the bearing will not be properly lubricated and could cause operational problems.
1. Remove the oil filling plug.
2. Pour oil into the opening.
3. Fill until the oil level rises to the center of the oil level sight glass.
Fill the bearing frame with an optional oiler
NOTICE:
Maintain an exact oil level. If the oil level is too high, the bearing temperature can increase. If the oil level
is too low, the bearing will not be properly lubricated and could cause operational problems.
The constant level oiler is supplied loose.
