Grease recommendations
Grease should not contain graphite or PTFE. The use of correct grease in the
TriPlus system is of utmost importance. The use of grease with a maximum of
5% molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) is permitted.
Groeneveld recommends the use of its GreenLube grease.
Consult your local Groeneveld dealer prior to change of grease (specifications)
or any other inquiries you may have.
Regularly checks of the greasing system
Check the following points of the TriPlus greasing system:
1.
The grease level in the reservoir of the pump unit (refill on time);
2.
The pump unit for damage and leakage;
3.
The operation of the whole greasing system. Perform a cycle test for
every grease outlet of the pump unit. Retrieve the fault codes stored in the
control unit, either by using the test push-button on the pump unit or by
connecting a UniGINA to the control unit;
4.
The primary and secondary grease lines for damage and leakage;
5.
The grease points, collar of fresh grease should be present at all grease
points.
Filling the grease reservoir
The grease pump must be suitable for class 2 grease.
First fill the filling hose with grease (if the filling pump or grease barrel is new).
This prevents air being introduced in the grease reservoir.
1.
Remove the dust cap of the filler coupling.
2.
Clean the filler coupling and the coupling on the hose thoroughly.
3.
Lock the hose onto the filler coupling or position the grease gun onto the
filler coupling.
4.
Fill the reservoir up to its maximum level, as indicated on the reservoir.
Never fill the reservoir any higher than the maximum level indicated, oth-
erwise the follower plate may become damaged.
5.
Remove the filling hose.
6.
Clean the dust cap and filling coupling with a clean rag. Place the dust cap
back onto the filler coupling.
NOTES
If the pumping action seems to go heavy, check the filter behind the filling
coupling on the pump unit. Clean the filter and the filler coupling. Also
check the filling hose for obstructions and clean it.
Any air that may be introduced beneath the follower plate will escape
through an opening at the top of the guide rod of the follower plate. These
air inclusions, together with any excess grease, will exit via the de-
aerating opening at the side on the pump unit.
