MAINTENANCE & REPAIR PAGE E − 16
If grease is forced out around the shaft as
new grease is added, the bearing cavity is
full and should be disassembled and
cleaned immediately.
There are no provisions in the bearing cavity to
drain or flush the lubricant. The pump and interme-
diate must be disassembled to completely clean
and maintain this cavity.
Under normal conditions, change the grease after
each 5000 hours of operation, or at 12 month inter-
vals, whichever comes first. Change the grease
more frequently if the pump is operated continu-
ously or installed in an environment where variable
hot and cold temperatures are common.
When lubricating a dry (overhauled) intermediate,
fill the cavity through the grease cup (18) with ap-
proximately one-third of a pound (151 grams) of
grease (approximately one-third full).
For cold weather operation, consult the factory or a
lubricant supplier for the recommended grade of
lubricant.
