• Lubricant capacity: Specified capacity (Refer to the table, “Specified
Lubricant Capacity”.)
Inspecting Lubricant
Remove the oil plug and take out a small amount of oil. The oil can be
extracted easily by tilting the pump so that the oil plug faces downward.
If the oil appears discolored or intermixed with water, a likely cause is
a defective shaft-sealing device (i.e. mechanical seal), which requires
that the pump be disassembled and repaired.
See Graphic: wc_gr000336
Changing Lubricant
Remove the oil plug and drain the oil completely. Pour a specified
volume of oil into the oil filler inlet.
Note:
The drained oil must be disposed of by waste disposal
contractors in compliance with the laws of the locale where the pump
is being used.
Note:
The gasket and the O-ring for the oil plug must be replaced with
a new part at each oil inspection and change
.
