OPERATION and MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION
Rapid wear and possible shutdown will result if the unit is operated with inadequate
lubrication. Follow the recommendations stated herein, and if needed increase the
application of lubricants above these recommendations when the equipment is subject
to heavy usage.
RECOMMENDED LUBRICATING INTERVALS
Recommended lubrication intervals are based on normal use under normal conditions.
The lubrication interval must be increased to meet more challenging uses and uses
which subject the equipment to high and/or unusual concentration of forces. The
lubrication interval must be increased if the pump has been exposed to environmental
conditions such as low humidity, high humidity, excessive dust, high temperatures, low
temperatures, heavy rainfall, long term storage, ocean air, etc...
1) every hour of operation
2) after completion of every job
All lubrication points must be greased on every interval as recommended.
TYPE OF LUBRICANT
• Use EP grease, extreme pressure grease available for wheel bearings, general
purpose grease, Shell Alvania EP (LFH2), or equivalent if this lubricant is
unavailable in your area
• Do NOT use Moly grease, grease with Moly additives
