little giant squeals

[ou812pezz]

Does anyone know how to fix a little giant pump from squealing? I've disasembled it and cleaned the prop and and encloser. It pumps but makes a load squeling noise.

did you oil it where the small little yellow tabs are? You have to take out the small yellow caps, one in front and one in back and then oil it. I was having the same problems then I oiled it and it fixed it.

3 in 1 oil? Thanks for the responce by the way. It's a 3 MDQ-SC. I'm not seeing the tabs(this was given to me because it squeals) Thought it neaded some lubrication but could't find where. Did the tabs cover a small rubber hole? I noticed one near the front and back of the unit.

ok I went to the web site and it recomends sae 20 wieght non-detergent oil. Did you happen to find this oil and if so where? Or did you use something else?
