REMEDIAL ACTION TO BE TAKEN 

The pump motor does not 
work. 

No current present. 

Check the power supply. 

The gear motor does not work. 

Replace the gear motor

Operating temperatures are too low 
for the type of grease used. 

Preheat lubricant with a heating element on the 
reservoir. 
Replace the liquid with one fit for pumpability at low 
temperatures. 

The pump works but 
lubrication does not arrive 
at the lubrication points. 

Lines disconnected. 

Check the condition of the lines and the relative 
connections to the fittings. Replace worn lines. 

The lubricant is distributed 
to the lubrication points in 
irregular doses. 

Incorrectly set cycle time. 

Reprogram the cycle time. 

The pump begins the 
greasing phase but ends it 
immediately 

Defective motor or high output 
absorption. 

Allow to cool for a few minutes and try again. If the 
problem persists, replace the gear motor

Operating temperatures are too low 
for the type of grease used. 

Preheat lubricant with a heating element on the 
reservoir. 
Replace the liquid with one fit for pumpability at low 
temperatures. 

FAULT 

CAUSE 

REMEDIAL ACTION TO BE TAKEN 

The pump does not 
dispense lubricant. 

The reservoir is empty. 

Fill the reservoir with clean lubricant; 

Air bubbles in the lubricant. 

Disconnect the pipeline from the connection for the 
pumping element. Activate the pump by pressing 
the reset button for carrying out an extra cycle until 
lubricant comes out of the connection without any 
air bubbles. 

Use of unsuitable lubricant. 

Empty the reservoir and refill it with a suitable 
lubricant again. 

Suction of blocked pumping 
element 

Dissemble the pumping element and re-clean the 
suction pipes. 

The piston of the pumping element 
is worn out. 

Replace the pumping element. 

The delivery valve of the blocked
