property damage
Failure to relieve system pressure prior
to performing pump service can cause
serious personal injury or property
damage.
Systems with meters will still
be pressurized even after the hose is
emptied
Hazardous or toxic
fluids can cause
serious injury.
If pumping hazardous or toxic fluids,
system must be flushed and
decontaminated, inside and out, prior
to performing service or maintenance

Following the appropriate procedures and warnings as presented in this manual.
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
STRAINERS
Strainers must be cleaned regularly to avoid pump starvation.
Schedule will depend upon the application and conditions.
LUBRICATION
NOTICE:
To avoid possible entanglement in moving parts do not
lubricate pump bearings, gear reducer or any other parts
while the pump is running.
Pump bearings should be lubricated every one to twelve
weeks (AT MINIMUM), depending on the application, and
operating conditions.
Recommended Grease:
Dow Corning
® -
MOLYKOTE 44
DuPont
® -
KRYTOX GPL 203
Greasing Procedure:
1. Remove the grease relief fittings (76A) from the bearing
covers (27A).
2.
SLOWLY
apply grease with a hand gun until grease
begins to escape from the grease relief fitting port. (76)
3. Replace the grease relief fittings (76A).
DO NOT overgrease pump bearings. While it is normal for
some grease to escape from the grease tell-tale hole after
lubrication, excessive grease on pumps equipped with
mechanical seals can cause seal failure.
IF EQUIPPED: Blackmer gear reducers are shipped from the
factory without oil in the gearcase. Fill with the grade of oil
indicated on the reducer tag. The oil should be changed after
the first 48 hours of use and approximately every 500 hours of
use thereafter.
