8.1.4 Oil lubrication (KP, KPV)
Follow a regular oil maintenance program. KP, KPV pumps with
oil lubricated bearings are fitted with a transparent reservoir, a
constant-level oiler, that maintains the oil level about the center
line of the lower bearing. See 85 in fig. 13. When necessary,
renew the oil supply in the reservoir of the constant-level oiler. To
refill it, remove the reservoir and fill it with oil. After filling the
reservoir with oil, replace it into operating position.
Fig. 13 Oil lubricated bearing construction
Change the oil after the first 200 hours of operation. To change
the oil, remove the drain plug (16K) at the bottom of the bearing
cover and the filler plug (16B), at the top of the bearing frame.
After draining the oil, replace the fittings and refill the reservoir
with an oil selected from the table
below. After the first oil change, the oil must be changed again at
2000 hours and then at intervals of 8000 hours or once a year
thereafter.

8.1.5 Stuffing box (packing) or shaft seal water lubrication
(KP)
The stuffing (packing) box must be supplied at all times with a
source of clean, clear liquid to flush and lubricate the packing.
Only a sufficient volume of sealing liquid to create a definite
direction of flow from the stuffing box inward to the pump casing
is required. Pipe from the pump outlet dome to the packing box is
supplied when requested.
8.1.6 Maintaining packing (KP)
Pack the stuffing box with fresh packing before initial startup,
after repairs to the pump, and in case of excessive leaks. Any
time the packing is replaced, inspect the shaft sleeves for wear,
roughness or scouring and replace with new ones if necessary.
For instructions on filling the stuffing box see section
side. For seal gland adjustment see section
