Automatic Greasing System OnePlus
EG1605R01
3.3 Method
1. Determine the conditions under which the system must be able to operate.
2. Make a so-called greasing plan.
3. Indicate, in the greasing plan, the grease demand and greasing interval
required by each grease point.
4. Compile the greasing points in groups.
5. Determine the required layout of the greasing system.
6. Check, by calculation, whether the system will be able to operate under the
conditions determined during step 1.
3.3.1 Determine the operating conditions
Determine with which type and NLGI class of grease the system must be able to
operate at the lowest ambient temperature expected.
3.3.2 Produce a greasing plan
Make a simplified layout drawing of the vehicle and/or the machine. Indicate the
positions of the grease points on that drawing and number them.
3.3.3 Determine the grease demand of the grease points
Note the grease demand (per particular period) of each grease point in a particular
period on the greasing plan. The grease demand can be determined by combining
the recommended amount and the recommended greasing frequency. This infor-
mation can be extracted from:
• The maintenance instructions concerning the vehicle or machine.
• Existing greasing plans for class 0 or 2 grease systems.
• Information provided by the manufacturer, importer, dealer, owner or
maintenance personnel.
• The information in the table below.
