5. Equipment Setup
5.1 Lubrication
PULSAR pumps use two separate oils: PULSAlube 7H, hydraulic oil for the eccentric box and
PULSAlube 8G, gear oil for the gearbox. Confusion between the two will impair performance and
damage the pump.
PULSAR pumps are shipped from the factory with the Eccentric Housing drained, and the Gearbox
full. The Installer should fill the Eccentric Housing. The external gearcase does not need to be
checked.
5.1.1 Oil Capacities
PULSAlube 7H hydraulic oil is now available in 1 liter containers (previously 1.5 liters).
PULSAlube 8G gear oil is available in 200 ml containers.
It is recommended that adequate supplies of both PULSAlube oils be on hand for periodic changes
and emergency requirements. The approximate amounts of oil required to fill PULSAR pumps to
specified levels are:
Oil Color Application Amount (approx.)
PULSAlube 7H Purple Eccentric Housing 1000 ml (1 quart) NP980002-005
PULSAlube 8G Amber P25H Series Gearbox 150 ml (0.16 quart)
P55H Series Gearbox 200 ml (0.21 quart) NP980001-002
Please note that the eccentric box section of the pump is not completely full when the proper amount
of oil is used, this is normal. Starting in production year 2007, Pulsafeeder will distribute
PULSAlube 7H in 1 liter containers to facilitate proper oil fill.
5.1.2 Gear Oil Fill
In all pump configurations, one pipe plug is present at the top of the gearbox and one is on the side at
the centerline level. Remove the top plug and fill with PULSAlube 8G (amber) gear oil through the
top port to the level of the eccentric shaft centerline, which is level with the side port. If desired, the
side plug can be removed so that leakage from the side port indicates attainment of the required level.
Replace both pipe plugs after filling. Do not add oil through the port on the side of the motor adapter,
as this port is for motor drive coupling access only.
