Only qualified technical personnel may
install, operate, maintain, and repair the
progressive metering devices described
in the lifecycle manual. Qualified techni-
cal personnel are persons who have been
trained, assigned, and instructed by the
operator of the final product into which
the progressive metering devices are
incorporated.
Such persons are familiar with the rel-
evant standards, rules, accident preven-
tion regulations, and operating conditions
as a result of their training, experience,
and instruction. They are qualified to
carry out the required activities and in
doing so recognize and avoid potential
hazards.
The definition of qualified personnel and
the prohibition against employing non-
qualified personnel are laid down in DIN
VDE 0105 and IEC 364.
Before assembling/setting up the product,
the packaging material and any shipping
braces (e.g., plugs) must be removed.
The packaging material must be preserved
until any discrepancies are resolved.

6.2 Installation information
Progressive metering devices of series VP,
VPK, and VPB are designed for positively
driven distribution of lubricants (oils/greas-
es) in a centralized lubrication system. The
progressive metering devices can be used
in the context of the technical specifications
given in the chapter “Technical data.” They
can be mounted in any alignment. In case
of installation on moving machine parts or
in case of strong vibrations (e.g., on press-
ing machines), the piston position of the
progressive metering device must not cor-
respond with the direction of movement of
the machine part.
To prevent flow resistance, ensure that both
the customer's supply line and the output
lines are sufficiently large.
Changing the number of sections and/or
metering rate of individual sections while
retaining the same quantity of grease sup-
ply changes all lubrication quantities of the
outlets.
