MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

To check the seal cavity oil, clean any dirt from
around the seal cavity drain plug (7, Figure E-2).
Remove the plug, and screw a short 1/4 inch NPT
nipple into the hole. Plug the open end of the nipple

with your finger. Tip the pump and drain off a small
amount of oil into a transparent cup, and stand the
pump up again. If the oil level is abnormally low, or
the color milky or dark, refer to Draining Oil From
Seal Cavity
in this section for instructions and

troubleshooting tips. If the oil is clear, remove the

nipple, top off the seal cavity with oil, and reinstall
the level plug.

When lubricating a dry (overhauled) pump, posi­
tion the pump upright and fill the seal cavity until oil
reaches the bottom of the oil drain plug hole with
approximately 88 ounces (2,6 liters) of oil.

The grade of lubricant used is critical to the opera­
tion of this pump. Use premium quality hydraulic oil
as specified in Table E-2.
