Pump heads should be greased at least every 500 hours of normal operation. Over greasing is not possible so greasing more often than necessary is better than not enough or not at all.Packing nuts need to be snugged periodically depending on pump use and application (see below, REPLACEMENT OF PACKING). Material seeping between the piston and the packing is a good indication that the packing nut needs adjustment.Persistent seeping even after adjustment indicates the piston and packing may be worn to the point of needing replacement.Caution operators not to over tighten packing nuts as this will cause premature failure of the piston and packing and also put undue strain on the pump drive system.Pumps with 1” and larger pistons have spring loaded packing and packing tension adjustment is automatic.Source: Cleaver Brooks
