GENERAL DESCRIPTION The G015 hydraulically actuated grease pump is used to lubricate the 500 to 2000 ft. lb. class NPK hydraulic hammers. Due to its compact design, it can be mounted directly to the hammer bracket. The NPK hammer mounted auto lube system is connected to the hydraulic system of...

GENERAL DESCRIPTION The hydraulic motor (a58) drives a worm shaft (a55), which turns a gear/eccentric unit (a26). As the gear/eccentric unit revolves, it strokes the delivery plunger (a27), which is part of the pumping element (a11). The stroking of the delivery plunger creates suction and delivery of the lubricant.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION The G025 hydraulically actuated grease pump is used to lubricate the 2,500 to 15,000 ft. lb. class NPK hydraulic hammers. Due to its compact design, it can be mounted directly to the hammer upper support block. The NPK hammer mounted auto lube system is connected to the hydraulic system of...

GENERAL DESCRIPTION The hydraulic motor (a58) drives a worm shaft (a55), which turns a gear/eccentric unit (a26). As the gear/eccentric unit revolves, it strokes the delivery plunger (a27), which is part of the pumping element (a11). The stroking of the delivery plunger creates suction and delivery of the lubricant.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION To make sure the pump unit is functioning, the unit has a visible eccentric shaft (a56) which rotates during operation. In the case of wear of the pumping element (grease pump cartridge), the grease comes out of the lateral relief hole (156). If there is failure of the hydraulic system or the Auto Lube pump, a grease fitting (30) is integrated into the unit for manual greasing.
The pressure line (6) to the hammer is connected to the pressure port P (126) of the NPK Auto Lube pump via a tap in connection on the hammer top bracket. The oil is then routed through a filter (a60) with an orifice (a61) to the hydraulic motor (a58), which ensures continuous drive.

Remove one part at a time from the box and check off on the NPK parts list. All parts are marked with an NPK part number and balloon item number for ease of identification.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES ORING FACE SEAL FITTING (ORFS) INSTALLATION TIPS Check oring, face of fitting, and tube or hose end for damage and replace if necessary. (RR1) shows a GOOD oring, (RR2) shows a NICKED oring, (RR3) shows a BENT oring, (RR4) shows a CUT oring.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURES HOSE INSTALLATION TIPS Connect the larger diameter hoses first. Larger hoses are more difficult to bend and maneuver, while the smaller lines are usually more flexible and easier to install. Do not twist (102) the hoses during installation. Pressure applied to a twisted hose can result in premature hose failure or loose connections.

GREASE CARTRIDGES NPK offers only one cartridge (which is used on both the G015 and G025). It is referred to as a type S. The NPK part number for this cartridge is G025-1050. NOTE: If you are using any of the other types (F or L) of cartridges offered with these units, contact NPK @ 1-800-225-4379.
GREASE CARTRIDGES CHANGING THE CARTRIDGE ADAPTER (G025 ONLY) DISASSEMBLY 1. To remove the adapter (a53) from the pump housing (a59), remove the four socket head cap screws (OO) found on the bottom of the pump housing using a 4mm hex key wrench. 2.
GREASE CARTRIDGES CHANGING THE FLAT SEAL (G015) 1. Remove the grease cartridge. 2. Using a pick, remove the flat seal (a65) and o-ring (RR). 3. Inspect the lubricant passage (176) for contamination. 4. Apply a light coat of grease to the new flat seal and o-ring, then install.
GREASE CARTRIDGES CHANGING THE GREASE CARTRIDGE (G015) 1. Remove the old grease cartridge. 2. Before installing the grease cartridge (a54), make sure the flat seal (a65) is present and not damaged. If the flat seal is missing or damaged, see “CHANGING THE FLAT SEAL”.
GREASE CARTRIDGES CHANGING THE GREASE CARTRIDGE (G025) 1. Remove the old grease cartridge. 2. Before installing the grease cartridge, make sure the flat seal (a65) is present and not damaged. If the flat seal is missing or damaged, see “CHANGING THE FLAT SEAL”...

REPLACEMENT OF THE FILTER AND DIAPHRAGM For replacement of the filter and diaphragm, you must first remove the plug (AS). Then you can remove the filter thrust piece (a67), oring (RR), sealing ring (a69) and strainer (a60). Use a slotted screwdriver (t22) to remove the diaphragm (a61). NOTE: Upon re-installation, make sure that the sealing edge of the diaphragm is not damaged.
REPLACEMENT OF THE (LUBRICANT) RELIEF VALVE (G025 ONLY) To protect the circulation of the lubricant grease), pump includes integrated pressure relief valve. This opens at a pressure of 4060 psi (280 bar). To replace the pressure relief valve, you first have to remove the plug (AS) using a hex key wrench (t25).
TOOLS REQUIRED: 6 mm Hex Key Wrench Electric or air powered drill Drive Shaft – NPK Part Number G025-5075 PROCEDURE: 1. Remove hydraulic motor (a58) from the pump assembly (FZ). 2. Install a grease cartridge. (Make sure flat seal is in place.)
REPLACEMENT OF THE PUMP CARTRIDGE When removing the pump cartridge, make sure the hydraulic and lubricant systems are depressurized. To be able to remove the pump cartridge from the pump housing, you must remove the lock screw (a70) using an 8mm hex key wrench. To pull out the pumping element, use a 12mm bolt (OO).
THROTTLE ADJUSTMENT ADJUSTMENT OF FLOW TO THE HYDRAULIC MOTOR To adjust the hydraulic motor’s flow rate, you must first depressurize the hydraulic system. You will then need to remove the plug (AS) and the flat seal (a65) covering the throttle (a5). You can then adjust the throttle using a slotted screwdriver (t22). By turning the throttle counterclockwise, you will increase the flow rate to the hydraulic motor, thus increasing the lubricant flow rate.

THROTTLE ADJUSTMENT ADJUSTMENT OF FLOW TO THE HYDRAULIC MOTOR The following diagram shows the guide values for adjustment of the throttle. Before adjustment, screw the throttle clockwise in until it stops (do not jam it in). By turning the throttle counterclockwise, you can adjust to the desired delivery rate. gr01 Eccentric revolutions per minute gr02...
