5.3 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 gear oil through the
top port to the level of the eccentric shaft centerline, which is level with the side port. The side
plug should be removed so that leakage from the side port indicates attainment of the required
level. Replace both pipe plugs after filling.
Gear oil is filled at the factory, and the gearbox is shipped full.
Do not add oil through the port on the side of the motor adaptor. This port is for motor
coupling access only.
5.4 Oil Changes
The recommended oil change intervals are dependent upon the operating environment and level
of pump usage, classified as follows:
Normal service: Clean/dry atmosphere, an ambient operating temperature of 0
0 C to 40 0 C (32 0 F
to 104 0 F) and up to 2,000 annual operating hours.
Severe Service: Humid atmosphere, an ambient operating temperature below 0
0 C (32 0 F) or
above 40 0 C (104 0 F), and over 2,000 annual operating hours.
