Lubrication Instructions
Grease Lubricated Frame Pumps
If frame is oil lubricated (denoted by a ‘K’ on the serial number plate and view gauge on side of frame), see
“Lubrication Instructions – Oil Lubricated Frame Pumps,” page 3200-902.
Bearing in all frames are greased at the factory before shipment.
Lubrication requirements vary with speed, power, load, ambient temperatures, exposure to contamination and
moisture, seasonal or continuous operation and other factors. The brief recommendations which follow are
general in nature and must be coupled with good judgement and consideration of the application conditions.
For regreasing periods refer to table below. When adding grease be sure the grease and fittings are absolutely
clean.
Grease used for these bearings should be equivalent to one of the following manufacturer’s products:
G.E. Long Life Grease No. D682C5
Mobil Mobilux No. EP2
Shell Alvania EP2
Texaco Multifak AFB 2
To lubricate frame bearings, remove plastic cover from zerk fittings and be sure the fitting and end of grease
gun are clean. Use hand-operated grease gun only and pump a small amount of grease into each bearing cavity.
The surplus grease will go through the bearing and into the center part of the frame.
For regreasing periods and approximate quantity, refer to table below.
First determine frame size (located on serial number plate).
