Installation and Setup
Determining Correct Mounting
Method
NOTE:
• Direct mounting should be used for lubrica-
tion points that are easily accessible.
• Remote mounting is recommended if you
answer YES to any of the questions below.
1. Is the ambient temperature at the lubrica-
tion point higher than +50°C (122°F)?
2. Is it necessary to remove protective
screens, walls or other types of protection
in order to reach the lubrication point?
3. Is the lubrication point exposed to high
vibrations?
4. Is it difficult to access the lubrication point
during operation of the machine?
5. Is the lubrication point exposed to any of
the following:
• water jets for high-pressure cleaning
machines?
• corrosive chemicals?
• extreme temperature?
• falling materials?
Preparing Lubricator for
Installation
The lubricator has a self-protection mecha-
nism which shuts off the drive unit at counter
pressures higher than 5 bar (72.5 psi). Most
bearings require 0.5 - 2 bar (7.2 to 29 psi)
pressure (without tubes, extensions, angles,
etc.).
Use the following procedure to check the
counter pressure of the application prior to
installation.
NOTE:
• Be sure to use a lubricant cartridge that
contains the same grease used in the
application.
• The best measurement results are
achieved during operation.
Checking the Counter Pressure
1. Clean the lubrication point to remove any
potential contaminants.
2. Install reducers, extensions, grease line,
etc. (if necessary).
3. Prime the grease line and all accessories
with the same grease that is contained in
the lubricator. (See Parts, page 22 for a
complete list of available grease car-
tridges).
4. Remove the plug (A).
5. Install lubricator unit
into adapter (B).
6. Screw a pressure manometer into the lubri-
cation point (dd) (F
IG. 1, page 11).
