    REQUIREMENTS
     Basic Service
    o Change oil and filter every 50 pump hours.
    o Change gear oil every 50 pump hours.
    o Change fuel filter every 100 pump hours.
    o Check bolts for tightness weekly.
    o Clean or replace air filter as needed.
    o Check for leaks.
    o Document the service in the FEMPR.

    25
    YEARLY PUMP SERVICE
     Annual Pump Motor Maintenance
    o Check “Service Record” in the FEMPR.
    o Change antifreeze every three (3) years.
    o Check belt and replace if needed.

    ALL PUMP SEAL LEAK
     The real question is how much and when?
    o Seals need water to cool the sealing surface between
    the seal and shaft.
    o An 11-15 drop per minute is acceptable while running
    at pressure.
    o Small leaks after sitting for hours/days may be OK.
    o Large leaks at pressure the seal should be changed.
    o Document leaks and any repairs in the FEMPR.
