Lubrication

1. New Baldor submersible motors ship with the oil reservoir properly filled with lubricant. Care should

be taken when handling motor to ensure no damage occurs that allows lubricant to leak from motor.

2. Maintenance should only be performed by qualified motor repair facility due to the water tight

construction of this motor. Ceramic and other seals are easily damaged and special tools are

required for service.

Recommended lubricant is Shell Rotella 10 SAE 10W.

The appropriate amount of lubricant is given in Table 2−1.
