3. Handling for Safety
3.1 Product
Installation
Choose a place for installation that allows easy operation of the handle, etc.
Mount the grease feed equipment on a vertical wall or a flat stand or board and secure it reliably.
Use M8 screws for installation and fix at three points.
If any vibration is expected, do not install the equipment directly but only through a rubber isolator, etc.
3.2 Port
Connection
Carry out port connection by tightening with an appropriate torque and make sure that there is no grease leakage.
3.3 Greases to be Used and Replenishment
(1) Grease
Do not use any grease other than those lithium family greases specified in “2.1 List of Product
Specifications” so that no pump failure, clogging of the system, etc. occur.
(2) Replenishment
Standard 0.26 L tank
If the follow plate inside the tank has come down to the low level, replenish grease without fail.
In replenishing, feed grease only from the replenishing port. Otherwise, it may cause a failure. Use
appropriate attention so as not to introduce air, foreign substances, etc.
Cartridge type
If the end of the cartridge container has come down to the low level, replace the cartridge without fail.
Never reuse the cartridge, for example, by refilling it. Otherwise, the cartridge container may burst. Carry
out replacement operation with appropriate attention so as not to allow air, foreign substances, etc. to enter
referring to “3.7 How to Replace the Cartridge.”
3.4 Usage Conditions (When using the equipment, maintain the following conditions.)
Operating ambient temperature
0
°
C to +40
°
C
Operating ambient humidity
35% to 85%
3.5 Air
Bleeding
After system piping work and when air is introduced into the pump, carry out air bleeding by all means. In
carrying out air bleeding, loosen the air bleeding valve of the pump (return for approximately a turn
counterclockwise) and move the handle to and fro until grease comes out and air stops coming out and, after
completing air bleeding, close the air bleeding valve.
