Installation
5.1
Overview
To install a
Groeneveld
TriPlus greasing system the following tasks must be performed:
1.
Mounting the pump (including the control unit).
2.
Mounting the progressive distribution blocks.
3.
Mounting the primary grease lines (between the pump and the distribution blocks and
between the distribution blocks themselves).
4.
Mounting the secondary grease lines and couplings.
5.
Mounting the electrical wiring.
6.
Testing the system.
There are a few different types of pump unit available (all with integrated control unit). The type
of pump unit most suitable for a particular greasing system can be determined on the basis of:
•
The type and model of the vehicle or machine on which the TriPlus system is to be installed.
An important discriminator is, for instance, whether the vehicle or machine is capable of
supplying the greasing system with an uninterrupted power supply voltage (+15 or +30).
•
The number of greasing points to be served and the layout of the greasing system.
•
The specific wishes the user may have concerning the greasing system.

Safety precautions
1.
Take the necessary precautions to prevent potentially dangerous situations from occuring
during installation, checking and maintenance.
2.
Always apply or use adequate safety measures to prevent bodily harm and damage, before
you start working on the vehicle.
3.
Ensure the vehicle is immobilised before you start work. Remove the ignition key and store it
in a safe place. Block parts that may move on their own accord. Engage the parking brake.
4.
Pay special attention to tailbords, loading flaps, drop flaps, etc. Take care that you can work
safely unter these parts, without these parts can drop down.
5.
Never work underneath a vehicle which is raised by a jack only. Always use a trestle and check
that the ground is firm and flat enough.
6.
Keep in mind that a vehicle with air-suspension may drop of its own accord.
7.
Only work underneath the cabin if it is fully tilted (and latched). Otherwise a support must be
placed underneath the cabin to ensure the cabin cannot drop back.
8.
Disconnect the earth-clamp from the vehicle’s battery. This prevents electrical equipment
from being inadvertently activated.
9.
Avoid working on the cooling system without allowing it to cool down first. The system is
pressurised and may cause burns. Direct contact with the (poisonous ) cooling fluid must be
avoided.
10. Adhere to all regulations, specifications and limitations as specified by the manufacturer of
the machine, vehicle or engine.
11. Only use tools that fit and are designed for the specific task you want to perform with them.
12. A vehicle or machine may only be operated by those who are competent to do so and aware
of all possible dangers. If necessary, an expert should be consulted.
13. Keep the environment in which you work clean and tidy. This enhances safety.
