Connect the pump to a power supply through the M12 connector (6). (→ page 15) and 7.3. Electrical connections to SKF pumping centers (→ page 17). If connected to other centers, confirm that the connections comply with the center's electrical drawings.
The tank connection (T) and the tank hose (10) are not normally used when the pump is used as a transfer or filling pump. A separate power supply is required (24 VDC / min 0.2 A, e.g. SKF code 12381505).
Place the pump through the lid into the central unit of the follower plate. Ensure that the pump is firmly attached to the follower plate. Connect the pump to a power supply through the M12 connector (6). See section 7.2 Connections (→...
12 Fasten the lid onto the lubricant barrel with wing screws. 13 Place the pump through the lid into the central unit of the follower plate. Ensure that the pump is firmly attached to the follower plate. 14 Remove pressure from the grease filter (14) by opening the venting screw (15) in the filter plug. 15 Clean the grease filter and the filter cartridge, replace when necessary.
15 Turn on the pressure air supply by pressing down the shut-off valve button (17) or set the air pressure to 3.5–4.5 bar using the pressure regulator (18) and the pressure gauge (19). 16 Perform a test run. 5 Regular inspections Monthly inspections pressure air regulator and water removal •...

Unit Description Lubricant counter pressure grams/mi Pump output l/min Pump air consump- tion Example: In Indication (1), the pressure air input is 6 bar, and the counter pressure (Indication 2) is 285 bar, which gives a lubricant output of 330 g/min (Indication 3). To deter- mine the air consumption, follow the 6 bar dashed line to Indication 4 and draw a horizontal line to the...
SKF-EPB-PUMP-A-B Abbreviation Description SKF-EPB-PUMP: SKF-EPB-PUMP SKF Electro-pneumatic Barrel Pump Lubricant barrel size: 18 kg Lubricant barrel size: 50 kg Lubricant barrel size: 180 kg The pump is connected to a follower plate placed inside the lubricant barrel. This allows the pump to follow the lubricant level.

Connect the following components to the pressure air connector: pressure air gun to connection (g); pressure air supply pipe of the SKF Maxilube pumping center to connection (h); and the pressure air supply hose of the EPB pump to connection (i), see Figure 13.
Turn off the pressure air supply by lifting up the shut-off valve button (17) or set the air pressure to 0 bar using the pressure regulator (18) and the pressure gauge (19). Remove the old pump and attach the plug delivered with the installation kit to SKF Maxilube pumping center's pressure air connection (Figure 14, connection A2).

10 Connect the wiring set's circuit board connector to socket (I) as shown in Figure 20. 11 First, open the wiring set's connector (n). Then, plug the wiring set's M12 connector (m) in connection D at the bottom of SKF Maxilube pumping center. 12 When the wiring set has been connected, close the connector (n).
Turn off the pressure air supply by lifting up the shut-off valve button (17) or set the air pressure to 0 bar using the pressure regulator (18) and the pressure gauge (19). Remove the old pump and attach the plug delivered with the installation kit to SKF Maxilube pumping center's pressure air connection (Figure 21, connection A2).
