5.6 Bearing lubrication
WARNING:
Risk of explosive hazard and premature failure from sparks and heat generation. Ensure
bearings are properly lubricated prior to startup.
Pumps are shipped without oil. You must lubricate oil-lubricated bearings at the job site.
Grease-lubricated bearings are lubricated at the factory.
The bearing manufacturer fills greased-for-life bearings with grease and seals them at the factory. You do
not need to lubricate or seal these bearings.
