162 Central lubrication
Central lubrication
The machine can be equipped with a central lubrication system
that automatically greases a number of points according to a pre-
selected lubrication cycle. The lubrication system shall be
inspected at regular intervals and should be coordinated with other
maintenance and checking.
Check the following at regular intervals:
– that there is enough lubricant in the reservoir. Fill as needed,
see below.
NOTE! Too low level of lubricant results in high risk of air
getting in to the system (most common cause of
malfunction).
– that the system works. Perform the system test on page 165.
– that the lubricant reservoir is not damaged.
– that the connections seal tight.
– that the quick-couplings' dust caps are installed and not
damaged.
– that the grease lines are not damaged and well fastened.
– that the greasing point is greased (that lubricant is forced out at
the bearing).
