Oil Overheating Pump?

drpresto · 10-22-2006, 08:57 PM

I bought a 75 Gallon tank used off a friend it has a Little Giant Pump that is VERY hot to the touch. It otherwise seems to be working fine. There is lots of flow in the tank. I see on the pump that it says oil every 6 months. I doubt he ever oiled it. Has anyone done this? What do I oil? I'm handy, but what part do I take apart?

Thanks!

There are 2 small yellow plastic plugs on top of the pump, Just take them out and add a few drops of oil, ( 3 in one oil ) will work fine. and then replace the plugs. John
