NOTE: We recommend that you purchase grease in larger containers. Pails of 20 litres/16kg’s in combination
with air or electrical operated tools for refilling. Standard grease gun with 0,5 litres cartridges might also be
used.
A grease gun for cartridges, with special nipple might be ordered as an option. Part number: 58086
8.2.2 Adjusting the amount of grease
The grease lubrication system is set to a maximum delivery of 0,29cm³/rev. However one of the pumps is
adjustable (PE120V).
Figure 8.4 :
Grease pump adjustment
Remove plug (item 2, Figure 8.4) to get access to adjusting screw (3). By turning the screw clockwise, the
amount is reduced. 1/2 turn on the adjusting screw reduces the grease added by 0,013cm³. Please contact
Orkel Compaction if you have any questions.
It is also possible to regulate the grease amount for the control unit. Adjustable from 100% down to 40%.
8.2.3 Bleeding the grease system
If the level in the reservoir is too low, it can be necessary to bleed the system after refilling.
1. Disconnect the plastic tube, mounted under the pressure relief valve on the pump.
2. Activate the function greaser in the control box, until there is a smooth and constant flow from the
outlet.
3. Reconnect the plastic tube to its original position.
4. Activate the function greaser from the control box once more (the pump will run as long as the but-
ton on the control box is activated).
5. Disconnect the tube from the first distributor block and activate the pump until you have a constant
flow from this outlet.
