7.1 Venting a grease progressive system
-See Figure 38
The progressive metering devices are
subjected to functional monitoring using
oil at the factory. It is possible that oil will
discharge from the metering device at the
start of commissioning. The venting process
starts at the main metering device and pro-
ceeds to the lubrication points, then from
the secondary metering devices to the lubri-
cation points.
• Connect the hand lever grease gun or
lubricating device to the metering device
inlet or, if present, to the emergency
lubricant nipple attached to the metering
device.
• Actuate the hand lever grease gun or
lubricating device until bubble-free lu-
bricant discharges at all metering device
outlets
• Use a hand lever grease gun or lubricat-
ing device to perform a flow check on
or fill all lubrication points that will be
connected.
• Completely fill lubrication lines with
grease and connect to the metering de-
vice outlets
• Actuate the grease lubrication pump,
hand lever grease gun, or lubricating de-
vice until bubble-free lubricant discharg-
es at the end of the lubrication lines.
