OIL LUBRICATED BEARINGS

PUMPS ARE NOT SHIPPED FROM THE FACTORY WITH OIL. RESPONSIBILITY FOR FILL-
ING THE BEARING FRAME WITH THE PROPER TYPE AND AMOUNT OF OIL IS THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER.
Remove item (113A) oil fill plug and fill frame with oil to the center of the sight glass. If a Trico oiler is used,
follow instructions below in Figure A.
A high-quality turbine oil with rust and oxidation inhibitors should be used. Under normal operating
conditions, an oil of 300 SSU viscosity at 100° F should be used where pumping temperatures do not exceed
350° F (177°C). Fill frame with oil to the center of the sight glass through oil fill plug (113A). Fill oiler bottle
and replace in oiler housing. We recommend a breather to be installed in the location of the oil fill plug. .
Change oil after 200 hours of operation for new bearings, then every 2000 hours or three months whichever
occurs first.
