Lubrication
How much oil does my CAT PUMP require?
Each pump has a unique crankcase capacity. The amount of oil required is specified on the pump Data Sheet. Proper lubrication is critical to assure long pump life. Filling the crankcase to the RED DOT on the bubble gauge will assure that adequate lubrication is delivered to the crosshead area of the plunger rods. Forward rotation is recommended, however, when reverse rotation is necessary, fill the crankcase to midway between the red dot and the top of bubble gauge to assure optimum lubrication is maintained. All oils break down over time and should be changed regularly. CAT PUMPS special, custom-blend, multi-viscosity, ISO-68, petroleum-based, premium-grade hydraulic oil with anti-wear, rus inhibitors and other special additives to provide the best lubrication for your pump. DO NOT USE DETERGENT BASED OIL substitutes. If CAT PUMPS oil is not available, contact CAT PUMPS for an Oil Alternative List.
