Every day before using your pump, check
the oil viewing glass at B (see 27 in the
parts list, section 25) in the bearing housing (see 11 in the parts list, section 25.1)
for damage and to confirm that enough oil is in the power frame. The oil should
reach the middle of the glass.
l Check that the drain plug C is in place and fully tightened.
l Open port A and fill the power frame with suitable oil (see Note, below) until it
is nearly full.
l Close port A.
l Check the oil level in viewing glass at B. Do not allow the level to fall below the
viewing glass centre line.
Note: If the pump is intended to be used in an area where ATEX regulations apply,
the oil viewing glass is replaced by a screwed plug.
Note: When a new pump is supplied, it is filled as standard with Klüberoil 4 UH
1-220 N lubrication oil for the food and pharmaceutical industries, which is suitable
for process temperatures between –10°C and 60°C. If the pump is intended to be
used in an area where ATEX regulations apply, only this oil must be used.
