1. Ensure that the surroundings of the pumping centre are clean. Impurities in the system will prevent trouble-free
operation and cause damage at the lubrication point.
2. Reserve a container for excess grease.
3. Check the condition of the lubricant barrel. Any damage on the surface of the barrel will prevent the follower plate
(Fig. 7, pos. 2) from being lowered.
4. Remove the barrel’s original lid and press the follower plate (Fig. 7, pos. 2) tightly against the lubricant in the
barrel. Ensure that air is being removed under the follower plate.
5. Place the lid (Fig. 7, pos. 1) on top of the lubricant barrel. Fasten the lid onto the lubricant barrel with wing
screws.
6. Pass the pump through the barrel lid and follower plate into the barrel. Lock the pump with a barrel nut (Fig. 7,
pos. 3) so that the lower pos. of the pump is approximately 2 cm above the bottom of the barrel.
7. Connect the grease filter (Fig. 7, pos. 4) to the bottom plate connection P (Fig. 4).
8. Connect the compressed air hose (Fig. 7, pos. 5) to the pressure air regulator’s pin plug and the pump’s
compressed air connection (Fig. 5).
9. Connect a 3/8 grease hose (Fig. 7, pos. 6) to the pump’s connection P (Fig. 5). Make sure that the other end of
the hose is in the container reserved for excess grease.
10. Start the pump by opening the pressure air regulator’s valve. When the hose has filled up, stop the pump by
closing the pressure air regulator’s valve and detach the hose from the pump’s connection P.
11. Connect the filled hose to the pump’s connection T (Fig. 5) and Maxilube’s connection T (Fig. 4).
12. Connect another 3/8 grease hose (Fig. 7, pos. 6) to the pump’s connection P and the grease filter (Fig. 7, pos. 4).
13. Detach the compressed air hose from the pressure air regulator and connect it to Maxilube’s connection A2 (Fig.
4).
14. Connect a ø8 mm plastic hose between the pressure air regulator and Maxilube’s connection A1 (Fig. 4).
15. Push the low level switch (Fig. 7, pos. 8) through the hole in the lid on top of the follower plate.
16. Connect the low level switch cable (Fig. 7, pos. 9) to Maxilube’s bottom plate connection D (Fig. 4) and the low
level sensor, and the cables of the channel pressure monitoring units and channel valves (if any) to the pumping
centre as described in the wiring diagram.
17. Set the pressure of the pumping centre to 4 bar (60 psi) with the pressure air regulator’s pressure control device
(Fig. 2, pos.III).
18. When you have completed these actions, you can fill/bleed the manifold/branch piping.
