manual and in the Parts Manual.
Daily
Check oil level and condition of oil. The oil level should be 1/4
in. (6 mm) from the top of the fill port.
Use the appropriate Hydra-Oil for the application (contact
Wanner Engineering if in doubt).
CAUTION: If you are losing oil but don’t see any external
leakage, or if the oil becomes discolored and contaminated,
one of the diaphragms (20) may be damaged. Refer to the
Fluid-End Service Section. Do not operate the pump with
a damaged diaphragm.
CAUTION: Do not leave contaminated oil in the pump
housing or leave the housing empty. Remove contaminated
oil as soon as discovered, and replace it with clean oil.
Periodically
Change the oil after the first 100 hours of operation, and then
according to the guidelines below.
Hours Between Oil Changes @ Various
Process Fluid Temperatures
<90°F <139°F <180°F
Pressure RPM (32°C) (60°C) (82°C)
Metallic Pump Head
<650 psi (45 bar) <1200 6,000 4,500 3,000
<1800 4,000 3,000 2,000
<1000 psi (69 bar) <1200 4,000 3,000 2,000
<1800 2,000 1,500 1,000
Non-Metallic Pump Head
<250 psi (17 bar) <1200 4,000 3,000 —
<1800 2,000 1,500 —
Slurry Duty Pump Head
<300 psi (21 bar) <1200 4,000 3,000 —
<1800 2,000 1,500 —
NOTE: Minimum oil viscosity for proper hydraulic end
lubrication is 16-20 cST (80-100 SSU).
NOTE: Use of an oil cooler is recommended when process
fluid and/or hydraulic end oil exceeds 180°F (82°C) for
Metallic Pump Head models or when hydraulic end oil
exceeds 180°F (82°C) for Non-Metallic and Slurry Duty
Pump Head models.
When changing, remove the drain plug cap (34) at the bottom of
the pump so all oil and accumulated sediment will drain out.
CAUTION: Do not turn the drive shaf t while the oil reservoir
is empty.
Check the inlet pressure or vacuum periodically with a gauge.
If vacuum at the pump inlet exceeds 7 in. Hg (180 mm Hg),
check the inlet piping system for blockages. If the pump inlet
is located above the supply tank, check the fluid supply level
and replenish if too low.
CAUTION: Protect the pump from freezing. Refer also to
the “Shutdown Procedure”.
Shutdown Procedure During
Freezing Temperatures
Take all safety precautions to assure safe handling of the
fluid being pumped. Provide adequate catch basins for
fluid drainage and use appropriate plumbing from drain
ports, etc., when flushing the pump and system with a
compatible antifreeze.
1. Adjust discharge pressure regulating valve so pump runs
under minimum pressure. Stop pump.
2. Drain supply tank; open any draincocks in system piping and
collect drainage; remove plug (3) from manifold and collect
drainage.
3. Close draincocks in system piping and replace manifold
plug.
4. Fill supply tank with enough antifreeze to fill system piping
and pump.
NOTE: Disconnect the system return line from the supply
tank and connect it to a separate reservoir.
5. Start pump and allow it to run until system is filled with
antifreeze. NOTE: If the system has an air lock and the
pump fails to prime, follow step 4 of the Initial Start-up
Procedure to clear the air.
6. When mostly antifreeze is flowing from system return line,
stop pump. Connect system return line back to supply tank
and circulate antifreeze for short period.
7. It is also good practice to change oil in hydraulic end before
storage for an extended period. This will remove any
accumulated condensation and sediment from oil reservoir.
Drain and refill hydraulic end with appropriate Hydra-Oil
and operate pump for short period to assure smooth
performance.
