Pump Lubrication System

Check the condition of the ISO pump lubricant daily.
Change the lubricant if it becomes a gel, its color dark-
ens, or it becomes diluted with isocyanate.
Gel formation is due to moisture absorption by the pump
lubricant. The interval between changes depends on the
environment in which the equipment is operating. The
pump lubrication system minimizes exposure to mois-
ture, but some contamination is still possible.
Lubricant discoloration is due to continual seepage of
small amounts of isocyanate past the pump packings
during operation. If the packings are operating properly,
lubricant replacement due to discoloration should not be
necessary more often than every 3 or 4 weeks.
To change pump lubricant:
1. Relieve pressure, page 26.
2. Lift the lubricant reservoir (LR) out of the bracket
(RB) and remove the container from the cap. Hold-
ing the cap over a suitable container, remove the
inlet check valve and allow the lubricant to drain.
Reattach the inlet check valve to the inlet hose. See
F . 13.
IG
3. Drain the reservoir and flush it with clean lubricant.
4. When the reservoir is flushed clean, fill with fresh
lubricant.
5. Thread the reservoir onto the cap assembly and
place it into the bracket.
6. The lubrication system is ready for operation. No
priming is required.
