SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
OILGEAR TYPE "PVV 540" OPEN LOOP PUMPS

PURPOSE OF INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions have been written to simplify and minimize your work of operating Oilgear type “PVV” pumps. Your acquaintance
with the construction, principle of operation and characteristics of these units will help you attain satisfactory performance, reduce
down-time and increase the units life. Some units have been modified from those described in this bulletin and other changes may be
made without notice.
