RECOMMENDED “ANNUAL” PROCEDURES
 Complete all previous checks on all questions.
 Check gauge calibration - see page 75.
 Check oil level in AutoLube ® assembly (SAE-EP 90 or 80W-90); see operation
and maintenance manual for details.
 Lubricate power transfer cylinder, power shift cylinder, and shift control valve
with vacuum cylinder oil, if applicable.
 Change pump gearbox oil and refill (SAE-EP 90 oil or 80W-90).
 Check individual drain lines from pump to multi-drain to ensure proper drainage
and protection from freezing.
 Lubricate transfer valve mechanism on two stage pumps. Dry moly spray is pre-
ferred.
 Disassemble priming pump and clean vanes.
 Run yearly standard pump test (per NFPA-1911) to check pump performance
levels – chart provided below.
 Repacking of pump is recommended every two or three years.
Note: The preceding general recommendations are provided for normal use and condi-
tions. Extreme conditions or variables may indicate a need for increased maintenance.
Good preventative maintenance lengthens pump life, ensures greater dependability, and
minimizes downtime. See “Muscle Pump Service Chart, Part 1 of 3” on page 88.
