Automatic Greasing System OnePlus
EG1605R01
4.3 General installation directives
1. Check the contents of the parts kit (using the parts list including in the kit).
2. Check whether the electrical parts in the system meet the vehicle voltage.
3. Before you start installing the greasing system: Check that all grease points
are open and furnished with a sufficient amount of grease. If that is not the
case, grease the grease points by hand. This prevents insufficient greasing of
the grease points during the period following the first few greasing cycles of
the greasing system.
4. Apply Teflon tape, or another type of sealant (e.g. Loctite), to the couplings
and plugs on the distribution blocks and pump unit, if not already fitted with
O-rings, gaskets or sealing rings. While mounting the couplings and plugs,
make sure that the tape does not cause internal contamination of the system.
5. Prevent contamination of the system during the installation. Work with clean
tools and clean the areas on the vehicle or machine where the distribution
blocks and pump unit are to be mounted, before you start installing them.
Even small contaminations can cause the greasing system to
malfunction!
Flush the primary grease lines after installation or maintenance, if contamina-
tions or moisture could not be prevented from entering the system. The de-
aerating procedure may be used to flush the system.
6. During installation of the grease lines and electrical wiring, ensure that:
• the lines are not mounted onto parts that may become hot, such as the
exhaust, retarder, compressor, turbo charger and air conditioning;
• the lines are routed straight and neatly, and are properly fixed in place
with small or large tie-wraps or clamps;
• the lines that are mounted along moving parts have enough slack and are
mounted in such a manner that , even in the long run, they will not be
damaged, through abrasion or otherwise;
• the lines to moving parts are sufficiently long to follow the movements.
Check this by moving the parts to all positions possible;
• feed-through rubbers are applied at all locations where the lines may
otherwise get damaged.
