3.7 Oil Pot
The mechanical seals structurally cause a slight oil leakage under normal conditions. Approx. one
month after the startup is the running-in period of the sealing surfaces of the mechanical seals and
the amount of leakage may increase temporarily.
In addition, during the running-in period the mechanical seals may cause a metallic noise of high
frequency.
Receiving spilt oil in the oil pot prevents environmental pollution. Connect between the oil pot and
the pump body using the attached nylon tube and secure it using cable ties etc. so that the oil pot is
positioned below the body.
If the amount of oil leakage from the mechanical seals reaches 0.3 ml/hour or more after the use for
a certain period of time, the mechanical seals may deteriorate. In such a case, the mechanical seals
need to be replaced. Contact the nearest service center.
