SKF Multilube - Pumping Unit Operation Procedure; Filling Lubricant Reservoir

5
Operation
When pressurization begins, the control starts the pump and opens the line valve. In pres-
sure switch operation the pump stops, when the pressure switch closes and restarts, when
the pressure switch opens. After the set pressurization time, the control stops the pump and
pressure discharges from the line to the lubricant reservoir.
If the lubricant level in the reservoir drops to the low limit level during pumping, the reser-
voir low level switch sends an alarm to the control and pumping is stopped. The alarm can
be disabled by filling the lubricant reservoir and resetting the alarm.
Filling the lubricant reservoir of the pumping unit
Lubricant reservoir of the pumping unit is filled through the filling connector which is
equipped with a filter.
Use of filling device (Safematic code 11600350 or 11600352)
1. Ensure that the surroundings of the pumping unit are clean. Impurities in the system
prevent trouble-free operation and cause damage when reaching the lubrication point.
2. Remove the lid from the lubricant reservoir (1) and press the follower plate (2) tightly to
the reservoir above the lubricant. Follower plate is not used with fluid lubricants, as it
does not remain on the surface.
3. Place the lid (3) on top of the lubricant reservoir. Fasten the lid with wing screws (4) on
the lubricant reservoir.
4. Place the pump (5) through the lid into the follower plate central unit (6).
5. Connect the lubricant hose (7) to the pump.
6. Fill the lubricant hose by pumping by hand.
7. Connect the quick connector (8) to the lubricant hose.
8. Connect the quick connector to the pumping unit filling connector (9).
9. Fill the lubricant reservoir of the pumping unit by pumping slowly by hand.
10. Filling of the lubricant reservoir can be followed at the level indicator (10). To prevent
overfilling, the pumping unit is equipped with a safety valve (11).
11. Turn the pump handle (12) to upright position so that pressure discharges to the lubri-
cant reservoir.
12. Disconnect the quick connector from the pumping unit filling connector.
13. Fasten the protecting cap (13) of the pumping unit filling connector.
14. Fasten the protecting cap (14) of the filling device quick connector.
