4.5 Preventative Maintenance Program
4.5.1 First Oil Change
A) The First Oil Change is required after 250 hours of operation, or 3 months (whichever comes first). This
is known as the Break-In period.
4.5.2 Oil Change Intervals
A) After the first Oil Change is completed, sample & test the oil every 3 months for condensed water and
debris.
B) Based on the results of the oil test, change if necessary. For more information about oils and oil testing,
please see Section 5.6 "Oils, Grease & Lubrication Recommended" on page 102 and Section 5.7 "Oil Testing
Kit" on page 104.
C) As a rule of thumb, the oil should last for 2000 to 3000 operating hours, or approximately 6 months.
4.5.3 Checking Levels on Motor Gearbox Oil
If the pump is motorized with a gearmotor, the gearbox needs gear oil as well. Please follow the instructions
in the Motor Manual.
4.5.4 Greasing Motor Bearings
A) Motor Bearings must be properly greased according to the Motor Manufacturer's recommendations,
which is typically every 3 months. Failure to do so could result in the motor not operating at peak
performance, and can possibly lead to permanent motor damage or improper motor function.
