Pumpage temperatures above 350-F (177°C) should
be lubricated by a high temperature grease. Mineral
oil greases should have oxidation stabilizers and a
consistency of NLGI 3.
NOTE: I? it is necessary to change grease type
or consistency, the bearings must be removed
and
the
old
grease
removed.

CAUTION

Never m&greases of different consistency
(NLGi 1 or 3 with NLGI 2) or dii7erent thickener
soaps (sodium or calcium with lithium). The
consistency usually becomes softer and will
not
provide adequate lubrication to the
bearings.

Conversion from Flood Oil to Pure Oil Mist
There are
several ways
to apply
oil
mist. Goulds has
designed X-Series Power Ends to accept a variety of
oil mist configurations. The following instructions are
written for two popular systems in use.
NOTE: Make sure that pipe threads are clean
and apply thread sealant
to
plugs & fittings.
NOTE: The L7X Requires that the bearing
housing be changed when making the
conversion liorn flood oil to oil mist lubrication.
After the proper bearing housing has been
installed follow the instructions as they apply to
SrX, MTX, XLT-X, X17.
