Installation Pressure Relief Procedure Air Lock Procedure Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever you see this symbol. The reference letters used in the following instructions refer to the Typical Installation F . 1 on page 6. An air lock occurs when a bubble or pocket of air pre- vents the normal flow of the lubricant.
Page 11
Installation • It may take up to 20 the pump strokes to expel the air from the pump and deliver a continuous flow of grease. This will depend on the viscosity of the lubricant and temperature. • Allow a minimum of 5 seconds ON time for the for- ward stroke and 5 seconds OFF time for the return stroke.
Operation Operation Pump Low Level Switch Start Up As grease is dispensed, the follower plate (22) travels down the reservoir. When it gets close to the low level switch (lls) the magnet (28) on the bottom of the fol- lower plate assembly activates the normally closed low level switch;...
