NOTICE: Make sure that the grease container, the greasing device, and the fittings are clean. Failure to do this can result in impurities entering the bearing housing when you regrease the bearings. |

It is important to lubricate pumps and motors that require regreasing with the proper grease. See the motor service instructions and nameplate for motor regreasing information. Pumps are to be regreased using the grease types listed below or approved equal. Always keep pump and motor properly lubricated. |

With fully enclosed coupling guards, regrease pump while pump is running. With old style open ended guards, stop pump, re-grease, and hand turn shaft before re-starting. |

Wipe dirt from the grease fittings before greasing. |

Fill both of the grease cavities through the fittings with the recommended grease. Stop when grease leaks out at shaft. |

If needed, stop pump and wipe off excess grease. |

NOTE: The bearing temperature usually rises after you regrease due to an excess supply of grease. Temperatures return to normal in about two to four operating hours as the pump runs and purges the excess grease from the bearings. Maximum normal bearing housing temperature for polyurea-based grease is 225°F (107°C) and for lithium-based grease 180°F (82°C). |
