8.2.2 Draining of oil
Proceed as follows:
1. Place the pump on a plain surface with one oil screw pointing
downwards.
2. Place at least 34 oz (1 l) capacity transparent container under
the oil screw.
Warning
The oil chamber may be under pressure. Loosen the
screws carefully and do not remove them until the
pressure is completely relieved.
3. Loosen and remove the lower oil screw.
4. Remove the upper oil screw and let the oil drain into the
container.
Check that the quantity of oil corresponds to the quantity stated
in the table above. If the quantity is smaller than stated, the
shaft seal is defective and must be replaced.
Check the water content in the oil. If the color is greyish-white, it
contains water. If the oil contains more than 20 % water, the
shaft seal is defective and must be replaced. If the shaft seal is
not replaced, it may cause damage to the motor.
5. Clean the faces for the gaskets for oil screws.
Note
Used oil must be disposed of in accordance with local
regulations.
