STAR VARIO Installation and Operation
Installation & Servicing Tips
1.
Always ensure that newly installed bearings are prepacked with grease.
2.
Prelubricate bearings using a grease gun to ensure that the point can receive grease freely. Clean all fittings to prevent contamination.
3.
Decide whether to direct or remote mount depending on access and safety considerations.
4.
Do not exceed the recommended line dimensions.
5.
Select the desired TIME and VOLUME settings for the application.
6.
Assemble the lubricator:
a) Seat the Drive Unit correctly onto the Lubricant Cartridge (you will feel it seat into the correct position). Insert battery pack.
b) Fit the Drive Cover and screw into position. Do not overtighten screw down firmly.
c) Turn unit on and check that grease is being discharged.
d) Firmly attach the support adaptor (B110/B111) for direct mount applications.
e) Fit the protective cap (B700, B701, B702, or B703).
7.
Write the date of installation on the lubricator and record the date of installation in the site maintenance scheduling system or keep a
separate record.
8.
Once installed the lubricator should be periodically inspected to check that accidental damage has not occurred. Observe the LED signals
and the position of the piston.
9.
When changingout empty lubricators, manually purge the bearing to ensure the lubrication conditions have not changed.
