Electric Operated Centro-Matic Pump P653S
Refill and Maintenance
Caution! First time filling of the reservoir
with grease is very critical for proper
pump operation. The pump may be
shipped with a small amount of Fuchs
Renocal FN 745/LINCOLN grease used
for final testing and inspection. The
grease thickener is Ca-12-OH-stearat.
Check compatibility of the Renocal FN
745/LINCOLN with the grease you are
going to use and remove the test grease
if necessary.
Pump with follower plate:
Use grease fitting (9) (Fig. 1) to fill or refill reservoir. Make sure
no air is trapped under the follower plate. Grease should be in
full contact with the surface of the follower. It’s recommended
to run the motor by initiating the lube cycle during the first fill
of the reservoir. The stirring paddle of the running motor will
help to evenly distribute grease under follower minimizing air
pockets. The reservoir has a vent hole (11) (Fig.1). Fill grease
to the maximum follower position until follower seal will slightly
cross the vent hole. If air is still trapped under the follower, add
some more grease to expel air through the vent hole.
Pump without follower plate:
Use the same grease fitting (9) (Fig. 1) to fill or refill reservoir.
It’s recommended to run the motor by initiating the lube cycle
during the first fill of the reservoir. The stirring paddle of the
running motor will help to evenly distribute grease in the reser-
voir minimizing air pockets.
To speed up filling or refilling of the pump, grease fitting can be
replaced with 1/8” swivel connection to attach a hose from a
larger output filling pump.
Caution! There is a risk of reservoir
bursting if overfilled. When filling the
reservoir with large output fill or refill
pump, do not exceed the maximum fill
mark.
Pump cleaning:
Use petroleum or benzene based cleaning solutions. Do not
use tri-, perchloroethylene or similar solvents. Do not use polar
organics such as alcohol, methyl alcohol, acetone or similar
solvents.
