Stainless Max Series Pumps 4-9
Preventive Maintenance
For the pedestal, see heading “Replace Pedestal Oil - SMR
Series” for additional information.
Note: Assembly orientation determines which plugs are used for oil
fill, drain and level detection. Also see Installation Drawings at the
back of this manual.
3. Examine the oil for contamination (e.g., water – turns the oil a
milky color or settles to the bottom). Properly dispose of the used
oil.
4. Inspect the magnetic drain plug. If metal filings are present on
the drain plug, remove the cooler or cover plate to visually in-
spect and clean the internal components.
Repair or replace as necessary.
5. Replace the cooler or cover, if necessary. Remove the oil fill
plug, the level detect plug, and replace the drain plug (magnetic).
6. Fill the gearbox with an approved gear oil until oil just begins
seeping from the level plug opening.
7. Replace the fill plug.

securely and run the pump
for a short period, then
recheck the oil level.

the drain plug, located at the
