Bearing housing temperature should not exceed 80 degrees Celsius in normal circumstances. Where
higher temperatures are noted, use an oil of lower viscosity.
When pumping product of elevated temperature, it may be advisable to have oil cooling fitted to
maintain an acceptable bearing housing temperature.

1.3 Notes
• While Shell brand oils have been specified, equivalent oils manufactured by any reputable oil
company are suitable alternatives.
• When changing oil, inspect for metal particles or other foreign matter, and for any signs of
discolouration.
• The oils listed should not be taken as the only suitable oils. Any good quality oil possessing the
properties specified may be used.
• It is never good practise to mix different oils.
1.4 Maximum angle of Incline
ISO PRO pumps should be run in the horizontal position. However, some applications require that
the pump be run on an incline. For a standard oil lubricated pump, it is recommended that the pump
angle not exceed 5° from the horizontal. If the application requires a greater angle of incline, Pentair
Southern Cross recommend the use of regreasable bearings.
2. PUMPS FITTED WITH REGREASABLE BEARINGS
Preferred oils are those that have non foaming properties.
Typically, turbine or hydraulic oils would be suitable.
Viscosity of SAE20 to SAE30 (ISO VG 46 to 100).
Automotive oils would be suitable in light duty cycles.
Light Duty - Less than 8 hours/day or intermittent
450
Tellus 46 or 68, or Turbo T46 or T68.
Heavy Duty - Greater than 8 hours/day or continuous
800
Tellus 68, Turbo T68 or Madrella AS68.
High Temperature - 100 to 150 degrees Celsius
Turbo GT32 or Madrella AS68.
Low Temperature - Less than 10 to -30 degrees Celsius
Refrigerator Oil 68K.
