STORAGE:
If the pump and coupling are to be stored, drain the pump
and pour non-detergent SAE 30-weight oil into the pump port.
Apply grease to the pump or the coupling shaft extension, if
present or accessible.
Viking suggests rotating the pump shaft every 30 days to
circulate the oil in the pump. The coupling should be stored
in a dry area.
Note: If the liquid to be pumped reacts with oil, use an
acceptable alternate.

LUBRICATION:
Some bearing carriers require external lubrication. This must
be applied slowly with a handgun to lubrication fittings every
500 hours of operation with multi-purpose grease, NLGI # 2.
Do not over-grease. Applications involving very high or low
temperatures will require other types of lubrication. Refer to
ESB-515. Consult factory with specific lubrication questions.
