5.6 FILLING GREASE SUPPLY OF THE AUTOMATIC LUBRICATION SYSTEM

1.

Remove the dust cover from the filler 

coupling.

2.

Connect the filler hose to the filler coupling. 

Ensure that the filler hose is completely filled 

with grease so that no air bubbles can get 

into the system.

3.

Fill the reservoir to the specified maximum 

level.

Note:

When filling the reservoir, the air above the 

follower piston will escape. This air will flow 

down through an opening in the piston line 

and escape from the pump through the right-

angled coupling. Normally a small amount of 

grease will escape from this coupling during 

venting.

4.

Remove the filler hose from the filler 

coupling.

consequences for your health.

Take the necessary precautions, 

such as wearing goggles and a 

facemask.

Clean the protective screen, if applicable, 

with a hard brush, and blow-clean with 

compressed air.
