Periodic System Inspection
A program of visual checks, regular inspections and servicing should be incorporated in accordance
to the sweeper’s existing maintenance schedule. Maintenance staff should be encouraged to check
automatic lubrication on a periodic basis and report any defects.
Recommended Lubricants
The pumps has been developed specifically to run with NLGI Grade 000, 00, 0, 1 and 2 grease and
FG3,0 fluid grease. Oils to a minimum viscosity of SAE80 are also acceptable. Do not use heavy
tackified greases or greases containing bentone®/bentonite, molybdenum and/or graphite.
NOTE:
To ensure proper operation of the lubrication system only ever fill with clean lubricant that has been
in a sealed container and correctly stored. Contaminated lubricant can result in premature system or
bearing failures.
Pump Refill Procedure
All multiline pump options are fitted with a quick fill adaptor (A) for filling with grease up to and
including NLGI Grade 2. Using the quick fill adaptor for grease replenishment avoids the possibility of
air entrapment and air pockets (cavitation). Initial filling, with any lubricant variant, should be through
the quick fill adaptor to prevent against cavitation in the pump chamber or reservoir.
A grease nipple (B) and quick fill adaptor (A) are fitted on V Range auto-lube pumps, giving more
refill versatility.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• Before refilling through the grease nipple or the quick fill adaptor ensure that it is clean first. Secure
the dust cap back in position when finished.
• Do not overfill the reservoir. Fill only to the MAX Level Label.
