Installation Instructions

To ensure reliable and safe operation, follow these standard installation practices:

Mounting Position:
Install the pump vertically, with the oil outlet facing upward to allow smooth grease flow and air release.

Power Connection:
Verify the input voltage (12 V or 24 V DC) and connect the motor following the wiring diagram provided in the manual.

Grease Line Preparation:
Before startup, make sure all lubrication lines are clean, unobstructed, and free of air pockets.

Initial Start-Up:
After filling the reservoir, run the pump briefly to confirm proper discharge and pressure build-up at each outlet.

Following these guidelines helps maintain consistent pressure and uniform grease delivery across all lubrication points.

Maintenance & Care

Regular maintenance keeps your electric lubrication system performing at its best and prevents costly downtime.

  • Oil Level & Alarm Check:
    Inspect the grease level and the low-level alarm indicator regularly — ideally before every work shift.

  • Filter Cleaning:
    Clean or replace the grease filter every six months to prevent contamination or clogging in the distribution network.

  • Motor & Electrical Inspection:
    Ensure all wiring terminals remain tight and corrosion-free.

  • Operating Practices:
    Avoid running the pump without grease for long periods, as dry operation may damage internal seals and piston components.

Routine servicing not only extends pump lifespan but also improves the overall reliability of the lubrication circuit.
