6.5 Start-up
The function of the pump unit was checked in the workshop. Thus, the pump unit is ready for
use and can be connected to the local power supply system.
Important! Observe the safety instructions in section "Power supply and
powering-up".
First fill lubricant and then start the pump unit, in every case.
The filling level must not be lower than 10-15 mm above the
reservoir’s bottom edge.
Actions to be taken for start-up:
a) Filling the pump unit with lubricant
Operate the pump unit with clean oil or grease from original packages only!
The pump unit is to be filled with grease the very first time through the filling
nipple in order to ensure that the suction chamber of the pump is kept free of
air bubbles.
Recommendation: Alternatively, fill the pump the very first time with gear oil
up to the agitator blade to provide for faster and better
ventilation. While doing so, however, select such kind of
gear oil, which is compatible with the lubricant to be filled!
Danger of injury when reaching with your hands into reservoir with the pump
unit running. Before reaching, separate the pump unit from the power supply.
b) Venting of the pump unit
Venting on the pump element
For that purpose, switch-on the pump unit with the lubricant feeding lines not installed as
many times as necessary to have the lubricant emerging at the outlet without air bubbles.
