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.
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.
1. Remove the oil fill pipe plug (319B).
2. Fill the bearing frame with oil through the filler connection that is located on the top of the
bearing frame.
