6.5 INSPECTION OF OIL RINGS BEFORE START-UP
A problem can arise when pumps are transported by vehicle or when being lifted by a crane jarring or
uneven lifting of pumps can cause the oil rings to move out of position. If the oil rings are out of position
at start-up, the bearings will not get lubrication and eventually will fail.
Before start-up takes place, remove the ½ inch NPT plugs on the top of the housing and confirm that the
oil rings are in their proper position.
