Lubrication - Goldacres ZETA Series Operator And Parts Manual

8. REFILL PUMP CRANKCASE: Re-mount
the oil drain plug (T). Fill Pump with SAE
15W-40 OIL to recommended mark on the oil
reservoir (H) or on the sight glass (S). Rotate
the crankshaft (N) while filling to eliminate air
pockets. Re-mount the oil fill cap (F) or the oil
fill plug (R).
9. INITIAL START UP: Start the Pump with
the outlet line at "0" pressure; after about 5
minutes at "0" pressure you may increase
the outlet pressure and make a few cycles
of pressure on/off. This will evacuate any
remaining air pockets in the crankcase. Turn
Pump off and re-check oil level. Refill as
necessary to proper oil level.
IMPORTANT: During initial start up, monitor
the oil color. If it turns milky white, the
diaphragms were not seated correctly.

Lubrication

The Pump is supplied with the correct amount
of lubrication oil (see table on page 10).
Periodically check the oil level in the Pump
through the oil level indicator.
Use OIL type SAE 15W-40 or equivalent. Here
are some recommended types of oil:
Brand Type
AGIP F.1 Supermotoroil 15W-40
BP Vanellus C 15W-40
CASTROL GTX 15W-40
ESSO Uniflo 15W-40
MOBIL Super M 15W-40
SHELL Rimula R4 15W-40 / Helix
Super 15W40
TOTAL Rubia 15W-40 / Quartz 5000
15W-40
The oil is to be changed by draining it through
the dedicated bottom discharge cap and
strictly with the Pump stopped.
The oil level could vary during priming ; then it
will stabilize when the system is pressurized.
If the oil level gets lower during the first few
hours of the pump's operation , it could be
normal. Simply refill. If instead , the oil level
changes considerably after several hours of
operation, the pump's diaphragms might be
damaged or there might be restrictions along
the suction line.
