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. Switch off the power at the pumping centre when replacing the barrel.
3. Lift the low level switch rod (Fig. 7, pos. 8) from the barrel.
4. Lift the pump out of the lubricant barrel and place it on the pump bracket or on a clean base. Be careful not to
damage the suction inlet at the bottom of the pump.
5. Remove the lid (Fig. 7, pos. 1) from the top of the barrel.
6. Lift the follower plate (Fig. 7, pos. 2) from the bottom of the barrel.
7. Replace the lubricant barrel.
8. 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.
9. Place the lid (Fig. 7, pos. 2) on top of the lubricant barrel. Fasten the lid onto the lubricant barrel with wing screws.
10. 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.
11. Pass the rod of the low level switch (Fig. 7, pos. 8) through the hole in the lid, placing it on top of the follower plate.
12. Depressurise the grease filter (Fig. 8, pos. 10) by opening the bleed screw (Fig. 8, pos. 11) in the filter plug.
13. Clean the grease filter and the filter cartridge (Fig. 9, pos. A), or replace the filter cartridge if necessary.
14. Switch on the pumping centre. Reset possible low level alarm by pressing the "Alarm acknowledgement" button on
the control unit.
