MAINTENANCE

 

Failure to disconnect and lockout 
electrical power or engine drive before 
attempting maintenance can cause 
severe personal injury or death 

Hazardous 

machinery can 

cause serious 

personal injury.

 

 

 

 

Disconnecting fluid or pressure 
containment components during pump 
operation can cause serious personal 
injury or property damage.

 

 

Hazardous pressure 

can cause serious 

personal injury or 

property damage 

 

 

 

If pumping hazardous or toxic fluids, 
system must be flushed and 
decontaminated, inside and out, prior to 
performing service or maintenance 

 

Hazardous or toxic 

fluids can cause 

serious injury. 

 

 

 

 

 

Failure to disconnect and lockout 
electrical power before attempting 
maintenance can cause shock, burns or 
death 

Hazardous voltage. 

Can shock, burn or 

cause death.

 

 

 

 

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 pressure 

can cause serious 

personal injury or 

property damage

 

 

 

 
 

NOTICE: 

Maintenance shall be performed by qualified technicians 
only, following the appropriate procedures and warnings 
as presented in this manual.

LUBRICATION 

NOTICE: 

To avoid possible entanglement in moving parts do not 
lubricate pump bearings, hydraulic adapter coupling or 
any other parts while pump is running 

Pump bearings and hydraulic motor couplings (if equipped) 
must be lubricated every three months at a minimum. More 
frequent lubrication may be required, depending on the 
application and the operating conditions. 

Recommended Grease: 

Mobil® - Mobilgrease XHP222, 
Exxon® - Ronnex MP Grease 
or equivalent Lithium grease. 
 

Greasing Procedure: 

1.  Remove the grease relief fittings (76A) from the bearing 

covers (27) or hydraulic motor adapter (135). 

2.  SLOWLY apply grease with a hand gun until grease 

begins to escape from the grease relief fitting port. Discard 
excess grease in accordance with the proper codes and 
regulations. 

3.  Replace the grease relief fittings (76A). 

DO NOT over grease pump bearings. While it is normal for 
some grease to escape from the grease tell-tale hole after 
lubrication, excessive grease can cause mechanical seal 
failure. The tell-tale hole is located in the head (20) between 
the bearing (24) and the mechanical seal (153).
