adjusting the shaft packing can cause 
severe personal injury. 

 

 

 

 

Hazardous pressure 

can cause personal 

injury or property 

damage 

Failure to relieve system pressure prior 
to performing pump service or 
maintenance can cause personal injury 
or property damage. 

 

 

 

Hazardous voltage. 

Can shock, burn or 

cause death.

 

Failure to disconnect and lockout 
electrical power before attempting

death 

 

 

 

 

Hazardous pressure 

can cause personal 

injury or property 

damage

 

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

 

 

 

 

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 

 

 

 

NOTICE: 

Maintenance shall be performed by qualified technicians 
only.  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 the gear reducer or any other parts while the 
pump is running

.

 

Sleeve bearings (bushings) are lubricated by the liquid being 
pumped. Additional lubrication is not required. 

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.  Change the oil after the first 48 
hours of use and approximately every 500 hours of use 
thereafter. 
 
 

VANE REPLACEMENT 

NOTICE: 

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

 

1.  Remove the head assembly and all other parts on the 

outboard (non-driven) side of the pump. See the "Pump 
Disassembly" Section. 

2.  Turn the shaft by hand until a vane (14) comes to the top 

(12 o'clock) position of the rotor. 

 

Figure 5 – Vane Replacement 

 

3.  Remove and replace the vane, making sure to install the 

vane with the rounded edge outward to contact the 
cylinder. 

4.  Rotate the shaft until the next rotor slot is in the top 

position, and replace the vane. 

5.  Continue this procedure until all new vanes are in place. 

6.  Reassemble the pump as instructed in "Pump 

Assembly."
