Basic Settings and Operation
5.9 Central Chain Lubrication
Device (Special Equipment)
The central chain lubrication device is attached to the left
side of the machine behind the front guard.
Each time the drive shaft makes a rotation, oil is forced
out of the tank (1) via the pump (2) and the lubrication
strips attached to the left and right of the machine, and
onto the brushes on the drive chains.
The delivery rate can be adjusted by means of the
eccentric (3) on the drive roller.
Different nozzles are built into the lubrication strips for
each lubrication point. A pressure gauge (1) which
displays system pressure is installed on the right-hand
side of the machine. This pressure increases or de-
creases according to the setting of the eccentric disk.
• Depending on consumption, check the oil supply in
the container and top off if necessary.
It must absolutely be ensured that no
water or dust can enter the tank.
If the lubricant container is empty, the central chain
lubrication device needs to be bled:
• Fill the reservoir with oil.
• Remove the container hose (4) from the pump and wait
until oil emerges.
• Mount the hose on the pump again.
• Open the venting screw (3) and actuate the pump
manually until oil is flowing out of the valve block
without any bubbles.
Replace filter (2) once a year.
First remove, empty and then thoroughly
clean the tank (1).
Only then replace filter (2).
Do not remove filter (2) if oil is present in the
filter.
It must absolutely be ensured that no water or
dust can enter tank (1).
Use recommended lubricants only!
Different types of oil can be used.
Viscosity similar to 15W40
Use biodegradable, non-toxic oil only.
(e. g. Fuchs Plantogear 100 - N Mineral Oil or
Castrol Optimol Optileb GT 100)
Do not use adhesive oils for chains since
these would get stuck inside the system.
