Lubecore 210 - Filling the Reservoir

Filling the Reservoir
When either the timer indicates that the level switch has been triggered or
during a system inspection it’s visible that the follower plate has reached
minimum level, the pumps reservoir needs to be refilled with an
appropriate NLGI / EP lubricant. For refilling the reservoir, please follow the
steps as described below to ensure that no contaminants and/or air enter
the lubrication system.
Step 1: Remove the dust cap and clean
any remaining dirt from the male filler
coupler, located on the pump.
Step 2: With the female coupler of the
filler pump still mounted on the lid to
the male coupler, ensure there are no
air pockets in the filler hose by making
at least 3 strokes, circulating grease.
This is especially important when
exchanging buckets of grease
Step 3: Inspect the filler pumps female
coupler for dirt and clean if required.
Then secure it to the male coupler on
the pump, until it latches.
Step 4: Fill the reservoir with grease
until the top of the follower plate has
reached the maximum level mark on
the reservoir. This mark is located 1
inch / 3cm below the black reservoir
cap. The bottom of the follower plate
should have passed the vent-opening
in the follower plate guide rod. (See
illustration 41)
Note Make slow and full lever strokes when using a manual filler pump: Depending on ambient
temperature and lubricant type, lubricant may be of higher than normal viscosity and will flow
slowly. The grease also will need to flow through a fine filter. Rushing the filling process may
introduce air pockets into the grease pump or damage filler pump.
