Groeneveld Auto Greaser - Warnings Summary

NOTE: Instructions given to the operator to better
enhance the system.
IMPORTANT: Instructions that if ignored will cause
damage to the system or machine.
WARNING: Instructions that if ignored will
cause personal injury or death to the operator or
bystanders.
IMPORTANT: When you take delivery of your
sprayer, ensure you check the right hand side of the
pump unit and look for a red tag or an over flow
hole. If the red tag is still fitted, REMOVE IT now. If it
is left in place, the reservoir may fail on refilling due
to pressure build up.
NOTE: The fill point requires a Groeneveld female
fill pump adaptor. You can purchase these via your
local Groeneveld dealer or contact your Goldacres
dealer to order.
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill the main reservoir. Fill
to about 2 cm from the top only. This instruction is
also on the reservoir tank. Over filling will cause the
reservoir to fracture.
IMPORTANT: Use ONLY HP0 or NLGI0 rated
grease. It needs to be Lithium based and contain NO
Teflon or Graphite as they stick to the meters and
eventually jam them. The grease must NOT contain
Aluminium or Copper compounds as they are
abrasive to the seals and lines.
IMPORTANT: The timer should initially be preset to
90 minutes intervals as this has been found to be the
optimal grease delivery interval for most applications.
However, certain operating conditions will require
more or less than this amount.
It is the responsibility of the operator to ensure that
the machine parts are receiving sufficient lubrication.
Hotter operating conditions cause the grease to
become thinner and may therefore require more
frequent interval settings.
Over lubrication, as well as under lubrication, can
lead to premature failure of machine components
and should be avoided.
NOTE: Removing this blank is not advised. There
is a check ball held in under spring tension that will
come out at some speed. If this is lost, the return
valve and non return valve will not work and the
system will pump the grease back to the reservoir. If
you believe there is a problem with this part of the
system, contact your Groeneveld dealer direct.
WARNING: Removing this blank is not advised.

There is a check ball held in under spring tension
that will come out at some speed. Eye injury may
result from the ball bearing if the blank is removed. If
you believe there is a problem with this part of the
system, contact your Groeneveld dealer direct.
NOTE: If you decide you want to run a second
grease outlet line, please contact your Groeneveld
dealer directly for technical advice.
IMPORTANT: The main lines from the pump unit to
the single or banks of metering units are monitored
for pressure. Should one of these lines brake or leak,
there will be a notable pressure drop in the system
and a buzzer will sound in the cabin to alert you. The
system will no longer be operating effectively and
some or all areas may not be lubricated.
IMPORTANT: These lines do not have their
pressure monitored. Should a line after its meter
unit be broken, the system will not sound the alarm
buzzer. The grease will flow out of the point of least
resistance, which is the hole or brake in the hose.
It is important to make regular inspections of these
lines to ensure they are not damaged. Also inspect
the grease point for evidence of lubrication.
IMPORTANT: Do not open any of the blanked
ports or meter units. This can allow contaminants
into the lines and thus be a potential cause of faults
or failures.
NOTE: There is NO maximum level mark.
IMPORTANT: It is not advisable to open the
metering units as this allows the entry of dirt, and
thus is a potential cause of faults and failures.
IMPORTANT: It is not advisable to open the
metering units as this allows the entry of dirt, and
thus is a potential cause of faults and failures.
IMPORTANT: All maintenance points must be
carefully followed. Failure to do so can cause failure
of your auto greasing system or your machine to be
under lubricated.
IMPORTANT: Do not overfill the main reservoir. Fill
only to about 2 cm from the top. You will see this
instruction on the reservoir tank. Over filling will
cause the reservoir to fracture.
IMPORTANT: Use ONLY HP0 or NLGI0 rated
grease. It needs to be Lithium based and contain NO
Teflon or Graphite as they stick to the meters and
eventually jam them. The grease must NOT contain
Aluminium or Copper compounds as they are
abrasive to the seals and lines.
