PROCEDURE
1 Bleed the cylinder lubricating pump as follows:
NOTE: When you bleed the cylinder lubricating system, always start at the first
cylinder at the free end. The hydrostatic pressure in the cylinder lubricating
system helps you bleed the cylinder lubricating pump (009, Figure 12-2).
1.1 Clean the external surface of the cylinder lubricating pump (009).
1.2 Examine the cylinder lubricating pump (009) for damage and leaks.
1.3 On the lubricating pump (009) push the button (008). Keep the button pushed
until oil that flows has no air.
1.4 Release the button (008).
1.5 If necessary, bleed the oil pipes, refer to Step 2.
2 Bleed the oil pipes as follows:
2.1 On the local control panel, get the LUB display (refer to the Operation Manual for
more data).
2.2 Select the applicable cylinder number.
2.3 If necessary, change the number of lube pulses (in the range 0 to 200).
2.4 On the pipe (004), use an open-ended wrench to hold the screw-in union (001)
in position.
2.5 Loosen the nut (003) a maximum of two turns.
2.6 Keep the nut (003) in the open position until oil that flows has no air.
2.7 Tighten the nut (003).
2.8 Clean the external surface of the lubricating quill (002).
3 If necessary, do Step 3.1 to Step 3.4:
3.1 On the pipe (005), use an open ended wrench to hold the screw-in union (007).
3.2 Loosen the nut (006) a maximum of two turns.
3.3 Keep the nut (006) in the open position until oil that flows has no air.
3.4 Tighten the nut (006).
3.5 If necessary, do Step 3.1 to Step 3.5 for the adjacent pipes.
