6. Make sure that no contaminants enter the reservoir.
7. Clean the threads on the reservoir and the lid.
8. Replace the lid on the reservoir, turning clockwise
(approximately 1 3/4 turns).
9. Reconnect the power to the equipment.
Models with a Follower Plate
1. Connect the fill hose to the inlet fittings (see F
12).
2. For higher viscosity fluids, start the pump to rotate
the stirring paddle during filling to prevent air
pockets from forming in the grease. Do not exceed
a 30 minute run time.
For models using an external controller, start the
pump operation following your controller
specifications.
3. Fill the reservoir with grease until the seal of the
follower plate breaches the vent hole and the
majority of air is expelled from the reservoir.
NOTE:
The vent port, located in rear of reservoir,
should not be used as an overfill port/indicator.
4. Turn off the air supply (H) to the refill pump (F).
5. Remove the fill hose.
Auto-Fill Shut Off
The Auto-Fill Shut Off is used for refilling the G5
reservoir in an automatic lubrication system. As fluid is
added to the reservoir, the plate valve is pushed up to
the top of the reservoir, pushing the valve pin and
closing the inlet fluid path.
When the fluid refilling path closes, the refilling line
pressurizes and brings the refilling pump to a
pressurized stall condition.
NOTE:
The operator must monitor the system while
filling the reservoir to prevent overfilling.
Load Grease
To ensure optimal performance from the G5 pump:
• Only use NLGI #000 - #2 greases appropriate for
the application, automatic dispensing, and the
temperature. Consult with the machine and lube
manufacturer for details.
• Do not overfill the reservoir.
• Do not operate the G5 pump without a reservoir
attached.
NOTICE
Any debris or dirt accidentally introduced into the
reservoir should be removed immediately. Do not allow
the pump to operate until any debris or dirt are
removed.
Operating the pump with debris or dirt in the reservoir
may damage the pump, down stream equipment, and
bearings.
