Operation
During normal use, the system will operate automatically. The grease pump will then
operate when the rod handling lever is in position to move a rod to the drill centre.
This means that each time a rod is moved out from the carousel, a certain amount of
grease will be pumped to the brushes that the rod threads subsequently pass.
Figure: Front control panel
If it is necessary to pump more grease to the brushes, the system can be operated
manually. The grease pump will then be active as long as the button (E) on the front
control panel is held depressed.
