Use a nut, a bolt, <strong>and</strong> two washers to secure the coupling guard halves together.11. Tighten all nuts on the guard assembly.WARNING:Never operate the pump without the coupling guard correctly installed.Bearing lubricationWARNING:Make sure to properly lubricate the bearings. Failure to do so can result in excess heat generation, sparks,<strong>and</strong> premature failure.Oil volumesOil volume requirementsLubricating-oil requirementsNOTICE: Be certain to check the greasing on a pump that has been out of service for a long period oftime <strong>and</strong> re-grease if necessary.Pumps are shipped without oil. You must lubricate oil-lubricated bearings at the job site.Grease-lubricated bearings are lubricated at the factory.The bearing manufacturer fills greased-for-life bearings with grease <strong>and</strong> seals them at the factory. You donot need to lubricate or seal these bearings.This table shows the required amount of oil for oil-lubricated bearings.Frame Qts.
