Maintenance
4.1
General
The maintenance of
Groeneveld’s
Twin greasing systems can be combined with the normal
maintenance of the vehicle or machine.
4.2
Periodic checks
1.
Check the grease level in the reservoir and its condition. Do not fill the reservoir until the low
level warning comes on at the Twin-3 display or on the signal lamp of the duty mode push-
button switch;
2.
Check the functionality of the Twin-3 display or duty mode push-button with signal lamp;
3.
Check if the selected duty mode is applicable to working conditions of the vehicle;
4.
Check the pump for damage and leakage;
5.
Check the primary and secondary lines for damage and leakage;
6.
Check the condition of the grease points served by the system. Sufficient fresh grease should
be present;
7.
Check system operation. Perform a single grease cycle test;
8.
Clean the pump and its surroundings;
9.
Replace or clean the internal pump filter every 500 hrs (vehicle operating/driving hours).
The filter is located behind the external filler coupling beneath the reservoir;
10. Check the stored data in the control unit with the use of an Uni- or PC-GINA.
4.3
Bleeding the pump
When the system malfunctions repeatedly due to an empty grease reservoir, it is possible that the
pump needs to be bled.
Proceed as follows:
1.
Make sure that the grease reservoir is filled.
2.
Remove both primary lines from the pump.
3.
Switch ignition ON.
4.
Push the test push-button at the pump for at least 6 seconds (multiple cycle test).
5.
Switch ignition OFF as soon as pure grease (without air-pockets) comes from one of the pump
outlets.
WARNING
When cleaning the vehicle or machine with a high-pressure water/steam jet cleaner, the pump of
the greasing system should not be directly exposed to the jet. This to prevent water from entering
the pump through its de-aerating opening. During normal operation, however, water will never
be able to enter the pump.
ATTENTION
The automatic greasing system reduces the time and effort spent on manaul greasing significantly.
However, do not forget that there may be grease points that are not served by the greasing system
and must still be greased by hand.
WARNING
Check that the system is pressureless, before opening the system.
