6. Maintenance
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE REQUIRING REAGENT HEAD OR VALVE (WET END)
DISASSEMBLY, DISCONNECT POWER, BE SURE TO RELIEVE PRESSURE FROM THE PIPING
SYSTEM AND, WHERE HAZARDOUS PROCESS MATERIALS ARE INVOLVED, RENDER THE PUMP
SAFE TO PERSONNEL AND THE ENVIRONMENT BY CLEANING AND CHEMICALLY NEUTRALIZING
AS APPROPRIATE. WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT AS APPROPRIATE.
Accurate records from the early stages of pump operation will indicate the type and levels of required
maintenance. A preventative maintenance program based on such records will minimize operational
problems. It is not possible to forecast the lives of wetted parts such as diaphragms and check valves.
Since corrosion rates and operational conditions affect functional material life, each metering pump must
be considered according to its particular service conditions.
The BLACKLINE
®
KOPkit will contain all replacement parts normally used in a preventative
maintenance program. It is recommended that spare parts and replacement oil be kept available at all
times.
6.1 Lubrication
BLACKLINE
®
pumps are supplied completely lubricated from the factory. For optimum pump
performance under normal conditions, oil should be changed after the first 1000 hours of operation and
10,000 hours thereafter. For severe service in extreme temperatures or very dirty environments, this
interval may be shorter. Check the oil level daily to ensure it is half way on the site indicator.
NOTE: Chemically contaminated lubricants can cause wear, corrosion and leaking seals.
Preferably, always replace all the oil rather than refilling to the site glass half way point.
The oil filling plug, the oil level plug, and the oil drain plug, are all placed on the reduction gear body.
The following images allow easy identification of the different plugs.
