Automatic Greasing System
Twin-3
EG1703P03
Procedure to check pump and 5/2-way valve
1.
Disconnect both primary grease lines from the pump outlet A and B.
2.
Connect a pressure gauge to each channel of the pump. Use pressure gauges that are suitable
for a grease pressure of 250 bar.
3.
Switch ignition ON.
4.
Push the test push-button at the pump for about 4 seconds to start a cycle test.
The pump now pumps grease from one of the channels. The pressure reading of the gauge
connected to this channel should raise to the maximum attainable pressure of 230 to 250 bar.
If the pump does not reach the indicated pressure, it has the following causes:
•
Air lock in the grease (air bubbles). Disconnect the pressure gauge and let the grease flow
until no more air bubbles come from the channel. If necessary, refill the reservoir with some
oil to remove the air around the pumping element.
•
Temperature too low and or grease is too viscous. Therefore it is not sucked in by the
pumping piston. Replace the grease in the reservoir and the primary grease lines by more
suitable grease for the aimed temperature.
•
Pump is faulty. Replace the pump.
5.
End the cycle test by switching the ignition OFF or by disconnecting the pump connector for a
moment.
6.
Switch ignition ON.
7.
Start another cycle test with the test push-button at the pump;
The pump should start in the other channel and the pressure gauge will quickly increase to
the maximum adjusted grease pressure of 230 to 250 bar. The first channel should become de-
pressurised.
When the pressure in the first channel does not drop and no pressure is built up in the other
channel, the 5/2-way valve is faulty. Replace the valve or the entire pump.
8.
End the cycle test by switching of the ignition or by disconnecting the pump connector for a
moment.
WARNING
Check whether the system is pressureless before the system is opened!
ATTENTION
The pump is not switched OFF by the pressure switch, because the greasing system is disconnected.
