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.
At an ambient temperature of -10° C, the actual lubrication time is twice that for the set
temperature.
At an ambient temperature of +40° C, the actual lubrication time drops to approximately half
that for the set temperature.
