MOUNTING DIVIDER VALVES
The following recommendations apply when locat ing and
mounting divider valve blocks and should be adhered to as
closely as possible to assure that the lubrication system will
operate efficiently and accurately:
The divider valve assembly should be oriented so that the
•
lube inlet port is at the top 12:00 o’clock position in order
to make the purging/ bleeding procedures easier and
more effi cient.
The divider valve assembly should be oriented so that the
•
spools in the working-valve sec tions operate parallel to
the floor. Avoid mount ing the divider valves in such a way
that they are tilted relative to the floor plane or perpen-
dicular to it (see Figure 4).

MOUNTING THE PUMP
All pump and reservoir package combinations incorporate a
method for attaching them to a suit able mounting surface.
The pump should be located such as to make it the lowest
component in the lubrication system. Considerations for
placement of the pump include:
Mount the pump/reservoir package in a loca tion that
•
allows the reservoir to be easily ac cessible for observation
of its lubricant level and for easy refilling.
Locate the pump and reservoir in an area that is not
•
subjected to heavy traffic and/or heavy debris or by-
products from the machine it is located on (see Figure 3).
