User Manual Installation and Operation Instructions Installation Instructions, continuation Direct (internal) feedback feature All pumps with back- mounted SSV divider block have the capability to feed back unused lubricant internally from closed outlets directly to the reservoir (see R fig. 1, 4). This procedure will start automatically, if outlet port 2 is plugged with a closure plug.

The QLS 401 is protected with a pressure relief valve (cartridge). The pressure relief valve limits the pressure build-up in the QLS 401. It opens at an overpressure of 205 bar (3000 psi). If the pressure relief valve is actuated, this indicates that the system is malfunctioning.
User Manual Installation and Operation Instructions Operation, continuation Monitoring time/ malfunction If the cycle is not complete within 15 minutes (monitoring time) after expiration of the pause time, the pump immediately switches off.
