Test the System
Before testing the system:
•
Verify the pump reservoir is filled with grease.
•
Verify valve and grease hoses are filled with grease and air is purged.
•
Very all supply hoses are connected securely.
•
Connect power to battery. Turn key to ACC.
•
Verify the G3 pump and (when used) the GLC2200 Controller have power.
•
Press the Manual Run button on the G3 pump or GLC2200 Controller to run the lube system through several
lube events and to ensure all lube points are receiving grease.
•
While the pump is running, walk around the equipment and inspect all pump, valves, hose fittings, and bearing
point connections to verify there are no leaks in the system.
•
Articulate all working sections of the equipment to ensure there is sufficient hose length supplied to all lubrication
points.
•
Inspect the valve hose fittings and bearing point connections again, to verify there are no leaks, the hoses are
secure, and that all points are receiving grease.
•
Adjust fittings or connections that are leaking.
•
If possible, put equipment into service and inspect the movement of the machine to verify there are no pinch
points and that the equipment is functioning properly.
•
After all of the testing is completed, park the equipment in a safe and secure place, disconnect the battery switch,
and ensure proper parking procedures are observed.
•
Complete any final housekeeping activities such as cleaning the work area, ensuring that any potential grease
spills have been cleaned up, and that all waste containers are disposed of properly.
•
Perform a final walk around on the machine. Take photographs as needed for documentation or reference.
