below the minimum marking on the reservoir.
NOTE! NOTE!
Let the level drop completely to the bottom every
other time grease is filled so that old grease is not
at the top of the reservoir.
on the pump unit there is a filler connection (grease
nipple) to which a hand pump or an industrial pump
is connected when filling.
NOTE! NOTE!
If and industrial pump is used, the filter between
connection and pump must be cleaned regularly. A
partly blocked filter can easily burst, with a
consequent great risk of small particles entering the
lubrication system. This may in turn lead to a
breakdown in the lubrication system.
for information on type of grease, see lubricant
recommendations on page
276 .
Proceed as follows: Proceed as follows:
1 Remove the protective cap. Carefully clean the
filler connection and the connection on the filler
hose.
2 fill the filler hose completely full with grease
before beginning to fill. this will prevent air from
entering the system.
3 Connect the connection on the filler connection.
4 Fill with lubricant to the maximum level on the
reservoir.*) If it is difficult to pump in the grease,
either the filter behind the filler connection is
blocked or there may be dirt in the filler nipple
itself. Clean the filter, if required replace the
nipple and try again.
5 Reinstall the protective cap.
6 keep the grease pump in a dust-free place, so
that it will not be exposed to dirt.
*) If the reservoir is filled above the maximum level,
the surplus lubricant will be drained through the
ventilation hole on the left side of the reservoir. Any
air under the plate in the reservoir is also drained
through the ventilation hole.
