6. Operation
6.1. General information
The described product functions automatically. The
lubricant transport in the lubrication lines should,
however, be subjected to regular visual inspection.
The lubricant fill level in the lubricant reservoir, if
present, should likewise be subjected to regular
visual inspection. If the lubricant fill level is too low,
top up to the maximum mark as described in
Chapter "Commissioning."
During operation, observe the following instructions
to provide for trouble-free operation of the
centralized lubrication system:
o Check the lubricant transport in the lubrication
lines at regular intervals.
o Inspect the lubrication of the lubrication points at
regular intervals.
o Perform a visual check of the lubricant fill level in
the lubricant reservoir at regular intervals
(including on piston pumps with fill level
monitoring).
6.2. Commissioning
Inspect all pneumatic, hydraulic, and
electrical (if present) connections before
commissioning the piston pump.
After assembling the piston pump and arranging the
lubrication lines, commission the centralized
lubrication system by following these steps:
o Fill the lubricant reservoir.
o Venting the centralized lubrication system
o Checking the function of the centralized
lubrication system
6.2.1. Lubricant filling
Observe the instructions from the machine
manufacturer regarding the lubricants that
are to be used.
Warning!
Only fill using clean lubricant and an
appropriate device. Contaminated
lubricants can result in severe system
malfunction. The lubricant reservoir must
be filled without introducing bubbles.
Warning!
Different lubricants must not be mixed
together. Doing so can cause damage and
require extensive cleaning of the piston
pump/centralized lubrication system. It is
recommended that an indication of the
lubricant in use be attached to the
lubricant reservoir in order to prevent
accidental mixing of lubricants.
The lubricant may only be fed without bubbles. The
lubricant reservoir must be filled with clean lubricant
without introducing bubbles.
 Remove the cap from the lubricant reservoir.
 Fill lubricant up to the maximum mark.
 Close the filling hole.
Then vent the piston pump and the centralized
lubrication system.
