HANDLING AUTO-GREASING SYSTEM 6
With this system, the grease is automatically supplied through the conmputer controls.
1. Check that a can or grease is in the grease pump case. If
the grease level is low, fill with grease.
2. Check that there is no leakage of grease between the
grease can or grease pump case (1) and follower plate (2).
NOTICE
Do not remove follower plate (2). If follower plate (2) is not
used, pump (3) will be unable to suck up the grease even if
there is still a large quantity of grease in the can.
Both when using a grease can and when not using a grease can, use suitable follower plate (2).
3. Turn the starting switch key to the ON position and check
that auto greasing pilot lamp (5) on the main monitor lights
up.
Lamp lights up: Normal
Electricity is supplied to the auto-greasing system, and when there is no abnormality and the grease pump is being
actuated to supply grease, the indicator lamp lights up when the pressure of the grease and the supply line is
above the specified pressure.
Lamp flashes: The indicator lamp flashes when grease inside the grease pump is short; the electric circuit is dis-
connected; and pressure in the supply line does not reach a specified pressure level while the grease pump is in
operation.
The lamp keeps flashing until pressure in the supply line reaches a specified pressure level after the pump begins
to work. Once the specified pressure level is reached, the lamp lights up. Therefore, flashing in this instance is
nothing abnormal.
Follower plate part No.
