grease daily one or two pumps will do it. be sure to grease right away after installing new packings.

use your spanner wrench to tighten the gland nut occasionally. do not over tighten it will burn out your shaft.

I do not know where to tell you to get graphite packing on your side of the world but it should be REAL easy to find. takes 2. you can cut your size by using a wood dowel, pvc or pipe by wrapping it around and cutting at a 45 degree angle. your dowel or pipe should be the same diameter as your shaft. you come up with one full round circle. size of packing can be determined by the size of your shaft and by unscrewing the gland nut and use a caliper to measure the outside of the step that goes into the pump. [don't know how exactly to describe it to you.] use the 2 measurements to figure your packing size. should be [around] 5/8 inch. course your going to be metric. for fast fix you can just shove 1 packing in but I would pull the old packings out most of the time and replace both. [could take 3 but your diagram shows 2.]

if you need me I will be here.

spanner wrench. just have your people build it like the top picture with the nubs out but it would probably be easier to build like the bottom picture, just have the nubs stick out like the top picture





if you need me I will be here. don't worry about your knowledge on pumps I have more of a greasy thumb than a green one.
Fantastic advice, thanks in a million!
I will look into this with my foreman, I think I know where I get find the packings, if not I will contact the maker in Japan.
Once we get down to performing this operation on the pump I will post a specific update. Any questions, I will contact you.
