Routing of delivery hoses, Cabinet to blade
10.3.8
As outlined previously there are a number of
options to allow connection to the relevant Blade
option. The picture on the right shows an
EasiBlade layout with an empty bay between end
sleepers.
10.3.9
Hoses are 16mm bore for systems with pump
distances up to 8 metres. The correct type and
length of hose will have been despatched with the
system.
10.3.10
Irrespective of hose type the principals of running
the hose are similar and shown below for a typical
installation with blades on both rails.
10.3.11
Hoses should be protected within suitable piping when passing under rails across the 4’.
10.3.12
Running Rail Systems
•
Two blades have single hose from the cabinet to a “T” piece centrally between the two
blades.
•
Four blades have single hose from the cabinet to a “Y” piece near each rail linked in
turn to a “T” piece centrally between each blade pair.
10.3.13
Top of Rail Systems
•
Two blades have single hose from the cabinet to each blade.
•
Four blades have single hose from the cabinet to a “T” piece centrally between each
blade pair.
10.3.14
Specific hose routing will depend on each site, note, to assist balanced flow:
•
Main delivery hose runs should be of the same length.
•
Individual hose lengths between each interconnection should be the same length.
10.4
Fitting the Main Delivery Hoses
10.4.1
Having first filled the reservoir operate the pump by pressing the ‘run’ button until grease
is present at the hose tail fitting.
10.4.2
Fit one end of a delivery hose to the hose tail inlet on the Blade with a hose clip and after
routing and filling the delivery hose connect to the hose tails on the outside of the pump.
10.4.3
Repeat the procedure for the other hose (If using a twin chamber pump with two hose
outlets).
10.5
Fill the Hoses and Blade’s
o
The main lubricator pump can be used to pump grease from the reservoir to the Blades.
o
On the Control Panel periodically press the Pump Run button.
o
Continue the cycle until grease is evident at all Blade ports.
