Section 4 - lubrication & maintenance
Grease Fittings And Faults
Grease from the auto lube system serves two
purposes, lubricate components & purge bear-
ings of dirt and grit that will shorten bearing life.
Consequently, it is important to monitor the auto
lube system and all cutter bearings and compo-
nents greased by the system every one to two
hours during a shift.
If one of the fittings becomes blocked or a line
breaks, the pump will sense the blockage or leak
and will fault. Consequently, if a fault exists in
for any reason, the cutter components may not
receive proper lubrication until the fault condition
is corrected.
Replacing Grease Lines
When a grease line is replaced for any reason,
it must be pre-filled with grease to enable the
system to provide immediate lubrication to the
component when the system cycles. If the line
is not pre-filled with grease during installation it
could take several days for the Auto Lube system
to fill the line and provide lubrication.
Use a grease gun attached to one end of the line
and pump until all air is purged and a steady
stream of grease is flowing from the other end.
Attach the line to the divider valve and compo-
nent. Then tighten the fittings. Activate the pump
manually until lubricant flows from the component
bearing.
Refer to the manufactures manual for additional
information on the operation and maintenance
procedures for the Auto Lube System.
Auto Lube Inspection And Maintenance
Daily
•
Check grease level in reservoir. Fill when
grease level drops to the minimum mark on
reservoir.
•
Test the pump for two full cycle cycles at the
start of each shift.
Grease Lines
Every 2 Hours
•
Check the pump for faults and proper opera-
tion. If the pump faults, find and correct the
problem before resuming operations.
•
Inspect grease lines for breaks and leakage.
Repair or replace lines if necessary.
•
Manually activate the grease pump and check
all cutter bearings and components for proper
lubrication. Correct any problems before re-
suming operations.
