6.3 Commissioning
Before the product is commissioned, all
electrical and hydraulic connections must be
inspected.
The lubricant reservoir must be filled with
clean lubricant without introducing bubbles.
The gear pump unit should be operated only
approx. 15 min. after filling in order to allow
possible air pockets to escape.
Air pockets in the lubricant adversely affect
the function of the device and impair the
reliability of lubricant delivery, which can
result in damage to the bearings requiring
lubrication.
Prior to commissioning, the centralized
lubrication system must be vented as
described in the assembly instructions,
Chapter 4.15.
Proceed as follows to commission:
• Check all connections for tight fit
• Check whether sufficient lubricant is
present in the lubricant reservoir
• Start the system
The functional check on the gear pump
unit is performed as follows:
• When the machine is at a standstill, check
whether signals are exchanged properly
between the machine and the gear pump
unit
• If available, trigger an interim lubrication
using the pushbutton
