Remove the dust cap from the coupling (1) for the filler. Carefully clean the coupling for the filler and the coupling on the filler hose. The coupler for the filler hose is supplied with each automatic lubrication system.
Connect the filler hose to coupling.
Fill the reservoir up mark (2) for the maximum level of grease that is indicated on the reservoir.
Disconnect the filler hose and refit the dust cap to coupling.
Place the filler hose back in the proper place in order to ensure that the coupling of the filler hose remains clean. Every 500 service hours replace the filter or every 500 service hours clean the filter for the filler on the lubrication pump. The filter is behind the connector on the reservoir. If the pumping action seems to go heavy, check the filter behind the coupling for the filler on the lubrication pump. Gently clean the filter or replace the filter. If the filter is damaged, the filter must be replaced. If too much grease is pumped into the reservoir, the surplus grease will exit the vent at the side of the lubrication pump. Any air that is introduced during the filling procedure will also escape via this route. Note: Due to the slow capability of a hand held grease gun, the use of a grease gun is not recommended in order to fill the reservoir. Note: When you use high-pressure water or high-pressure air to clean the machine, do not spray directly onto the lubrication pump. Water or dirt may enter the lubrication pump through the de-aerating openings.Note: The automatic lubrication system reduces the time and effort that is taken in order to grease the machine significantly. However, do not neglect grease points that are not served by the automatic lubrication system.Note: Check the conditions of the grease points that are served by the system. Sufficient fresh grease should be present.Note: Refer to Systems Operation, RENR6739, "Testing and Adjusting" for information on locations of the grease metering units, the points of the grease metering units supply, part numbers, and volume of grease supplied by the grease metering units.If a non-factory fit automatic lubrication system is installed, the system must meet or exheed the performance requirements detailed in Systems Operation, RENR6739, "Testing and Adjusting".Periodic Inspections
Inspect each of the following:
Grease level in the reservoir. Refill the reservoir on time.
Signal lamp is functioning.
Inspect the duty cycle that is indicated on the signal lamp is correct for the operating conditions.
Lubrication pump for damage and leakage.
Grease lines for damage and leakage.
Conditions of the grease points that are served by the system. Sufficient fresh grease should be present.
Operation of the system. Perform a cycle test. Refer to Systems Operation, RENR6739, "Testing and Adjusting".
Clean lubrication pump and surrounding area.Grease Recommendations
Refer to "Lubricant Viscosities".
