Always fill the pump with fluid to be handled
prior to start up. Check any valves in

exist.

MAINTENANCE

The Moyno pump has been designed for a

minimum of maintenance, the extent of which is
routine lubrication and adjustment of packing and
infrequent lubrication of the bearings. The pump is
one of the easiest to work on in that the main
elements are very accessible and require few tools to
disassemble.
