GENERAL COMMENTS
A routine maintenance program can extend the life of your pump. Well maintained
equipment will last longer and require fewer repairs. You should
keep maintenance records; this will help pinpoint potential causes of problems.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Routine Maintenance
•
Vibration Analysis
•
Discharge Pressure
Routine Inspections
•
Check for unusual noise, vibration, and bear-
ing temperatures.
•

Check foundation hold-down bolts of motor
and pump for tightness.

If the pump performance does not satisfy
your process requirements, the pump should
be disassembled and inspected. Worn parts
should be replaced.
MAINTENANCE OF BEARINGS
The Model 3100 pump does not have any internal bearings which require lubrication, rather the pump utilizes the
motor bearing for support. As such, it is recommended that you follow the motor manufacturer’s recommendation
for proper lubrication of the motor bearings.
