CAUTION
Closed lubricator bursts
Overpressure will result if the lubricator is not opened and the grease channels are
contaminated. At an overpressure of approximately 5 bar, the lubricator will burst at the
preset breaking point between the housing and the funnel.
Open the lubricator before commissioning.
Press fresh grease into blocked channels with a grease gun.
Note
Fill the lubricant channels and bearings with grease before installing the lubricator.
Procedure
1. Clean the area around the connection thread of the greasing point.
2. Use a knife to cut off the seal at the lubricator outlet. Or remove the screw plug.

3. Screw the lubricator into the connection thread.
Setting the lubrication time
CAUTION
Setting the wrong lubrication time
The lubrication time is heavily influenced by the resistance in the lubricant channels and the
ambient temperature.
Check the actual lubrication time during operation.
The actual lubrication time is the time it takes for the lubricator to be completely emptied.
The lubrication time is influenced by the resistance in the lubricant channels and the ambient
temperature.
