Mounting and Clearance Select a suitable mounting point for the pump on the machinery, preferably in a position where it is protected from debris. Ensure adequate clear- ance for the looming and re-filling is provided (see image below for clearance allowances). Do not mount the pump onto ancillary equipment. Using the pump-mounted adhesive template (part number 31867-900), supplied, position and drill the bracket holes (mounting positions and bracket clearances detailed as per the above image).

Overview: The MultiLine SFi kits are pre-loomed from the pumping element to the bulkhead connections on the pump bracket. The push-fit connectors provide an easy installation of the lines to the bulkhead connectors. The lubrication line should be Groeneveld-BEKA ø4mm, semi-rigid, nylon tubing.
Installation Typical System Installation Methods To connect the lubricant distribution lines to the bearing, as detailed on the previous page, remove the existing zerk fitting(s) (see images 1 and 2, below) and replace with the preferred push-fit or compression fitting(s) (see images 3 and 4, below).

MSFi 12/24VDC Pump: Wiring and Programming Installation of the AC range of pumps should ideally incorporate direct connections to the vehicle ignition system. This provides automatic lubrication whenever the ignition is switched on. A memory, built into the pump’s printed circuit board, removes the possibility of over-lubrication on a short trip/multi-drop operation as the pump will continue operation of the programming from when the ignition was last switched off (i.e.

MSFi 12/24 VDC Pump: Overview and Operation The lubrication process starts after either the ignition is switched on (if set to continuous run mode and the pump is only powered when the ignition is on) or after the allotted dwell time (of the already programmed pump) has elapsed. The pump will run for 3 minutes and dwell for the allotted remaining time as programmed (6 minutes dwell, if 9-minute program, 9 minutes dwell if 12-minute program and 12 minutes dwell if 15-minute program).
MSFi 110/220 VAC Pump: Wiring and Timer Adjustment Wiring Information To access the internal PCB and adjust the run settings via the dip switch: Disconnect power to the pump. Remove lid screws x3 (see ‘A’), (Torqued to 0.6Nm). Remove lid (see ‘B’), making sure to retain the O-ring. Remove motor housing screws x4 ( see ‘C’), (Torqued to 1.2Nm).

MSFi 110/220 VAC Pump: Overview and Operation The SFi range has been designed to provide reliable and virtually maintenance free service in the most demanding applications. The system is an electrically operated (110/220V) pump with integral controller and one or more lubricant distribution lines which connect each bearing directly to the respective pumping element via a bulkhead fitting situated on the sides of the mounting bracket.

Bulk fill adaptors (Part# MSF-A-QF) are also available on special request, which can be fitted instead of the grease nipple as shown on the examples below. DO NOT FILL FROM TOP FILL WITH NLGI 0, 1, 2 GRADE GREASE UNLESS INSTRUCTED BY GROENEVELD-BEKA. IMPORTANT NOTES: •...
Recommended Lubricants Recommended Lubricants The AX Pump has been developed specifically to run with NLGI Grade 000, 1, 2 grease and FG3,0 fluid grease. Oils to a minimum viscosity of SAE80 are also acceptable. Do not use heavy, tackified greases, greases containing bentone/bentonite or greases containing molyb- denum and/or graphite.
