Lubricate the bearings with pure oil mist
Oil mist is an optional feature for this pump.
• To lubricate bearings with pure oil mist, follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the
oil-mist generator.
The inlet connections are on the top of the bearing frame.
Greased-for-life bearing lubrication
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. Refer to the Maintenance chapter for re-greasing and
maintenance procedures for these bearings.

Shaft-sealing options

In most cases, the manufacturer seals the shaft before shipping the pump. If your pump does not have a
sealed shaft, see the Shaft-seal maintenance section in the Maintenance chapter.
This model uses these types of shaft seals:
• Cartridge mechanical seal
• Conventional inside-component mechanical seal
• Conventional outside-component mechanical seal
• Packed-stuffing-box option

Mechanical seal options

Pumps are usually shipped with mechanical seals installed. If they are not, then refer to the mechanical seal
manufacturer's installation instructions.
These are the mechanical seal options for this pump:
• Cartridge mechanical seal
• Conventional inside component mechanical seal
• Conventional outside component mechanical seal

Connection of sealing liquid for mechanical seals

Seal lubrication is required
Seal faces must have liquid film between them for proper lubrication. Locate the taps using the illustrations
