Bearing Maintenance; Lubricating Oil Requirements - ITT GOULDS PUMPS ICO i-FRAME Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual

If the pump performance does not satisfy your process requirements, and the process requirements
have not changed, then perform these steps:
1. Disassemble the pump.
2. Inspect it.
3. Replace worn parts.

6.2 Bearing maintenance

These bearing lubrication sections list different temperatures of pumped fluid. If your pump is ATEX
certified and the pumped fluid exceeds the permitted temperature values, then consult your ITT repre-
sentative.

NOTICE:
• Strictly maintain the oil changing schedule if the pump is operating in an potentially explo-
sive environment.
• Change the oil every two years if the pump is left idle.
• Dispose of used oil in accordance with local environmental regulations.
