Periodic Maintenance
IMPORTANT: All maintenance points must be
carefully followed. Failure to do so can cause failure
of your auto greasing system or your machine to be
under lubricated.
The following maintenance is required to ensure a
long and reliable lifespan of the auto greasing system:
1. Do not overfill the main reservoir. Fill only
to about 2 cm from the top. You will see this
instruction on the reservoir tank. Over filling will
cause the reservoir to fracture.
2. Check the lubricant levels daily.
3. Use ONLY HP0 or NLGI0 rated grease. It
needs to be Lithium based and contain NO
Teflon or Graphite as they stick to the meters
and eventually jam them. Use NO Aluminium or
Copper compounds as they are abrasive to the
seals and lines.
4. Your electronic timer should be set to 90 minutes
to properly lubricate the connected points on
your machine.
5. Inspect grease points daily. If there is no indication
of grease at the components, there may be a
break in the line between the meter and the
grease nipple.
6. Inspect pump unit and airlines / power cables for
external damage.
7. Inspect all grease lines weekly for damage. If a
brake or puncture occurs between the tank and
meter units, there will be a buzzing alarm in the
cabin. Your system may not be able to lubricate
the machine effectively. However, if a brake occurs
between a meter unit and a grease nipple, there
will be no alarm. Grease will be lost at the break
and the component will not be lubricated.
8. Do not make alterations to your system. Call your
local Groeneveld dealer for technical advice.
9. Do not use high pressure or steam cleaners on
the pump unit as it may force water into the
system.
10.Drain the pneumatic system regularly to prevent
water build up. Water entering under the piston
CAN NOT drain away. Eventually this will fill the
area under the piston and the amount of lubricant
delivered will reduce and eventually cease.
11. Do not forget that the auto grease doesn’t
cover every grease point on the machine. Ensure
you check and grease those parts that are not
connected to the auto greaser as per your
operators’ manual.
Filling
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill the main reservoir. Fill
only to about 2 cm from the top. You will see this
instruction on the reservoir tank. Over filling will
cause the reservoir to fracture.
IMPORTANT: Use ONLY HP0 or NLGI0 rated
grease. It needs to be Lithium based and contain NO
Teflon or Graphite as they stick to the meters and
eventually jam them. The grease must NOT contain
Aluminium or Copper compounds as they are
abrasive to the seals and lines.
When the lubricant in the reservoir has fallen to the
minimum level it must be re-filled. Generally a filler
pump is used for this purpose. The procedure is as
follows:
1. Ensure there grease drain hole on the right of the
pump unit is not blocked.
2. With a new filler pump (or filling hose) the hose
should first be primed with lubricant. This avoids
the pumping of air into the reservoir. For this
the ball (1) in the snap-on connector on the
filler hose should be depressed while pumping
lubricant through the hose until it is filled with the
lubricant.
3. Remove the dust cap from the filler connector.
4. Carefully clean the filler connector and the
connector on the filler hose.
5. Secure the filler hose to the filler connector.
6. Fill the reservoir to not more than the maximum
level (2 cm below the top of the reservoir) or
until the follower plate meets its stop. If you
slightly overfill, you will see grease flow from the
drain hole on the right of the pump unit. This will
take about 3 days to complete draining.
