6.6 Mounting the MEMOLUB
®
HPS onto the MEMO
Screw the MEMOLUB
®
HPS lubricator onto the
MEMO (which should already be screwed into the
bearing housing) using care not to damage the threads.
Once the MEMOLUB
®
HPS is mounted onto the
MEMO, it will immediately start one or two ejection
cycles. This is the test function.
6.7 Testing the MEMOLUB
®
HPS (While Mounted)
The MEMOLUB
®
HPS can be checked at any time while in operation. To do so, unscrew
the MEMOLUB
®
HPS from the MEMO approximately one turn and then screw it back
down (hand-tight). If the unit is working properly, it will immediately complete one
ejection cycle. If, due to a noisy environment, it is not possible to hear the MEMOLUB
®
HPS functioning during this test, unscrew the MEMOLUB
®
HPS completely from the
MEMO, go to a quieter location, and follow the instructions in
Section 6.5
.
6.8 Maintenance
The MEMOLUB
®
HPS does not require any specific maintenance. When used in humid
or dusty atmospheres the MEMOLUB
®
HPS can be cleaned with compressed air or a
slightly damp rag.
Important:
To clean the MEMOLUB
®
HPS do not use solvents or
submerse the unit in any liquid. A Dust/Rain cover is available that can also be used to
keep the MEMOLUB
®
HPS clean
.
7 Mounting Do’s and Don’ts
7.1 General
In general, the MEMOLUB
®
HPS should be installed where it can be easily serviced and
where the operating conditions (temperature, vibrations, etc.) is not too harsh. When
remote installation is necessary, use only fittings and tubing that are appropriate for your
application. The fitting threads should be sealed to assure optimal performance of your
system. To obtain a good seal on all screwed fittings, it is preferable to use Teflon
®
tape
or a paste.
7.2 Single-Point
Installation
7.2.1 Direct Installation
Avoid installing the MEMOLUB
®
HPS directly onto vibrating components or
components exposed to a harsh chemical environment or temperatures above 120°F. For
those situations, install the MEMOLUB
®
HPS remotely (
see Section 7.2.2
). If it is not
possible to install the MEMOLUB
®
HPS remotely, use appropriate equipment (such as
vibration mounts, special protection baffles, etc…) to protect the lubricator. Ask your
MEMOLUB
®
distributor or call PLI for more details.
