De-aerating of the greasing system
The greasing system can be de-aereted in three different ways:
Method 1
This method can be used when a pneumatic greasing system is available in the workshop. With such
a system the greasing system can be de-aereted quickly by connecting the primary grease line of
the TriPlus system (at the pump unit) with that system. After the system has been de-aereted, the
primary line must be reconnected to the output port of the pump unit.
Method 2
This method may be used when only a hand-operated grease gun is available. The procedure is the
same as described for method 1.
Method 3
This method will have to be used when neither a pneumatic system or a hand-operated grease gun
is available. The pump unit must then be started and be allowed to run until the branch of the
system connected to the selected output port is properly de-aereted.
The system has been de-aereted properly when a closed collar of fresh grease is present at all grease
points.

Commissioning of the greasing system
During commissioning, the system parameters (greasing interval, grease supply per phase, etc.)
must be set or checked using the GINA. Detailed information about the system parameters and the
operation of the GINA can be found in the chapter
“GINA” of this manual.
After you have set or checked the system parameters with the GINA, you should initiate a test cycle
with the GINA or the test pushbutton on the pump unit. A test cycle should be performed for every
grease output port of the pump unit. After conclusion of the test cycle you can check with the GINA
whether the system functioned properly.
Check, again with the GINA, whether the various input signals of the control system (e.g. the extra
control voltages S1 and S2, sensors and switches) are received properly. To do this, check the read-
outs in the DIAGNOSIS/IO screens 4 and 5, while switching the relevant input signals.
ATTENTION
If the system has a TriPlus trailer-pump it is required that the brake lights of the vehicle are lit
during the test cycle(s), otherwise the pump unit would be without a power supply.
