Bleeding the system
Because each hydraulic hammer supplier prescribes his own specific grease, we have decided
to supply the pump with an empty grease reservoir (also pumps pre-filled with HammerLube
grease NLGI 1.5 are available). For bleeding and testing the pump during production, how-
ever, the pump with an empty grease reservoir has been filled with a minimum amount of
HammerLube grease NLGI 1.5. During the subsequent transport it is possible that the grease
has come away from the pump element and been replaced by air. We therefore recommend
that the pump is allowed to run briefly after installation of the system and filling the grease
reservoir in order to allow the air around this pump element to escape.
Proceed as follows:
• Disconnect the grease hose from the pump.
• In order to avoid soiling of the workplace, place a beaker or plastic bug under the grease
outlet port of the pump.
• Connect the UniGINA to the pump.
• Switch on the power of the machine.
• Switch on the UniGINA and turn it to the manual mode by means of the Diagnosis Input/
Output menu or push the test push-button on the pump (less then one second) once.
• Now switch on the pump motor and allow it to run until a continuous stream of grease
emerges from the pump outlet port.
• When air bubbles no longer appears, the pump motor can be switched off with the UniGI-
NA or push the test push-button on the pump once.
• The grease hose already filled with grease can be connected to the pump again.
NOTE
If the client so wishes, the grease filling used during production can also
be removed in this way. Then allow the pump to run until the proper
grease just starts to come out of the pump grease outlet.
• Now disconnect the grease hose form the greasing point on the hydraulic hammer.
• Place a beaker or plastic bag under the end of the grease hose.
• Then switch on the pump motor again.
• Check whether grease comes of the end of the grease hose. This can take a short time be-
cause a certain pressure first has to be built up before the grease at the end of the grease
hose starts to move.
• When the grease starts to come out of the grease hose, the pump motor can be switched
off.
• The grease hose can now be connected to the greasing point on the hydraulic hammer
again.
• The BreakAlube system is now completely free from air.
