SECTION 6.0
AUTOLUBE II OPERATION
6.1 THEORY OF OPERATION
The AutoLube II is used on a hydraulic
hammer to lubricate the wear bushings
and demolition tool automatically every
time the hammer is started.
Each time the hammer is activated, the
pressure from the carrier’s hydraulic sys-
tem acts on the slide piston in the pump
housing. A vacuum is created by the slide
piston which pulls lubricant from the car-
tridge into the pump housing where it fills
the pump chamber between the slide pis-
ton and the check valve.
The stroke of the slide piston presses the
lubricant through the check valve into the
lubricant line.
When the hammer is stopped, the slide pis-
ton is pushed back into its initial position
by the spring. Once again, the vacuum that
is created pulls lubricant into the pump
chamber. This process is repeated every
time the hammer is started and stopped.
6.2 LOADING A CARTRIDGE IN
AUTOLUBE II
1. Turn off hammer.
2. Unscrew used cartridge.
3. Screw in new or refilled cartridge.
6.3 PREFILLING THE LUBRICANT LINE
The lubricant line must be filled with lubri-
cant before operation to bleed air from the
line.
1. Using a hand-held grease gun, prefill the
lubrication lines through the lube fitting
provided on the pump housing.
2. To check that line is full, remove the
hose at the hammer hydraulic connec-
tion and observe that lubricant emerges
from the end of the hose.
6.4 MAINTENANCE BEFORE OPERATION
1. Tighten all loose fittings.
2. Replace all damaged tubes or hoses.
3. Check the lubricant level in the
AutoLube II. If the cartridge piston is
not visible, the cartridge is empty. Refer
to Section 6.2 Loading a Cartridge in
AutoLube II.
4. Adjust lock nut and adjusting stem as
necessary; refer to Section 6.5 below.
6.5 OPERATION
~
CAUTION
The Check Valve, Lock Nut and Adjust-
ment Stem can become loose from
hammer vibration. Apply LOCTITE remov-
able thread locking compound to the ad-
justment stem after the correct
lubricant delivery has been established,
before tightening the lock nut.
NOTE
The AutoLube II is set to “lowest
delivery/stroke” when shipped.
The lubricant delivery rate can be
adjusted as explained in the follow-
ing paragraphs.
The amount of lubricant supplied to the lu-
bricating point in the tool holder is con-
trolled by the stroke setting on the slide
piston. This amount of lubricant is forced
into the tool holder when the hammer is
