Lubricant Inspection and Changing Procedures
• Inspection interval: Every 3,000 hours or 6 months, whichever comes
first.
• Changing interval: Every 6,000 hours or 12 months, whichever comes
first.
• Designated lubricant: Turbine oil VG32 (SAE 10W/20W).
• 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.

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.
