SECTION D PUMP
START‐UP D.1
CAUTION
Pump has been shipped without oil in the bearing housing
in compliance with US DOT
regulat
ions.
Add oil to the bearing housing (oil lubricated pumps only!) prior to operation.
Serious damage may result if pump is run without adequate
lubrication.
LUBRICATION
Bearing lubrication is very important for the best service life of the pump. Regular oil changes
and lubrication analysis is part of the best maintenance practices for optimum reliability. As
operating conditions vary frequency of re-lubrication can be modified based upon operating
records for the specific pump service.
Recommended lubricants:
OIL: ISO VG68 High Quality turbine
oil.
Maintain oil temperature
between 122°F (50°C) and 180°F (82°C) for normal operation. For
operation with pumped liquids above 350°F (177°C) use finned oil
cooler. Contact Magnatex Pumps Inc. with any questions.
Suitable oil brands:
Shell – Tellus Oil 68 Royal Purple – SYNFILM VG68 Synth.
Chevron – GTS Oil 68 Exxon – Terrestic EP 68
GREASE: NLGI No.2, sodium or lithium based. Approximate volume of grease per bearing in cubic
centimeters: 1-2 cc for 3575S; 2-3 cc for 3575M/L; and 3-4 cc for 3575XL.
Suitable grease brands:
Exxon Mobil – Mobil Polyrex EM Shell – Shell Dolium R
Chevron – Chevron SRI Exxon Mobil – Mobillith SHC 100
STARTING PUMP
1. Add oil to pump bearing housing via breather port (breather must be removed) until level shows
in the sight glass at the middle of the gauge window. Allow the level to settle out before adding
additional oil. Do not overfill!
2. Ensure that suction valve and any recirculation or cooling lines have been opened.
3. Completely close or partially open discharge valve as determined by system conditions. Never
open discharge valve more than 25% on startup.
4. Start driver. Observe pressure gauges. Stop driver if discharge pressure is not attained quickly.
Allow about 10 seconds for the system liquid levels to settle and attempt to re-start. If pump still
does not come up to pressure, vent all high point vents, re-prime pump and attempt to restart.
5. Open discharge valve slowly until the desired flow is obtained. If normal levels of vibration,
bearing temperature and noise are exceeded, shut the pump down and resolve the problems.
