Maintenance Inspections

DANGER
The pump contains internal moving
parts. DO NOT put hands or fingers into
the pump body ports or drive area at any
time during operation. To avoid serious
injury, DO NOT install, clean, service, or
repair the pump unless all power is off
and locked out and the pump is de-
pressurized.

Annual Maintenance

Drive
Refer to the manufacturer's manual shipped with the drive for
proper drive lubrication and frequency.
Gears and bearings
Gears and bearings are factory-lubricated with gear oil at the
quantity shown in Table 3. First oil change at 250 hours, then
every 2000 hours, depending on the operating conditions.
Aggressive washdown or extreme running conditions may require
more frequent lubrication intervals.
When the pump is not running, the oil level is correct when the oil
level is visible in the sight glass.
When the pump is running, the oil level may be difficult to see and
may appear cloudy. Universal TS pumps are shipped with the oil
level at or slightly above the center of the sight glass.

Detecting wear in the early stages can reduce repair costs and
down time. A simple "look-feel" inspection of the pump during
breakdown cleaning is recommended to detect signs of trouble at
an early stage.
A detailed maintenance inspection should be scheduled annually.
See "Annual Maintenance" on page 26.
Refer to the "Maintenance Inspection Chart" on page 28 for
possible causes and solutions to common issues discovered
during inspection.
At least annually, perform the procedures and corrective
measures outlined in "Maintenance Inspections" on page 26, in
addition to the following preventive maintenance:
• Remove the gear cover and inspect the gears for wear,
backlash and looseness. Check the gear retaining nuts. If
they are loose, replace them with new nuts. Do not re-torque
the existing nut as it is one-time use only. The gear case
cover gasket is designed to compress when the back cover
bolts are torqued. If you are re-installing a back cover that
has previously been torqued down, replace the gear case
cover gasket.
• Review the performance record on the pump, and check the
radial clearances to determine wear and effect on
performance. Adjustment to the operating speed can
compensate for wear in some applications.
