4. Activation period
The lubricator has a time delay before the unit starts to supply lubricant. The delay varies
according to the time setting selected and the operating temperature.
In most cases the lubricant in the bearing housing contains suficient lubrication during
this activation period. The activation period can be reduced by running the lubricator for 1
day on 1 month time setting before changing it to the required time setting.
4.1 Inluences on time setting
The dispense rate can be inluenced by resistance in lubrication channels and the ambient
temperature.
If the ambient temperature is below -10 °C (+14 °F) then the emptying time will be
approximately twice that is shown on the lubricator. If the ambient temperature is
above +40 °C (+104 °F) then for the LAGD 60/… and LAGD 125/… the emptying time is
approximately half that shown on the lubricator.
