Pump
The pump provides the necessary lubricant pressure needed to operate the injectors.
Vent valve
9037A
The vent valve relieves the lubricant pressure back to the reservoir at the end of each lubrication cycle.
Pressure relief
9037A
The pressure relief valve is a safety item to prevent over-pressurization of the system. Never operate your auto-
matic lube system without a pressure relief valve. The pressure relief valve is factory set at 4000 psi and is non-
adjustable.
Reservoir
The primary function of the reservoir is to contain the lubricant intended for later dispensing into the bearings. The
reservoir has several features. The vent line is external to the reservoir to allow for trouble free follower plate op-
eration. The fill port of the reservoir is at the bottom of the reservoir and is specifically designed such that it is im-
possible to fill the reservoir and later realize the follower plate is at the bottom of the reservoir instead of at the top
where it belongs. The overflow port is located above the fill port and can be opened to determine when the reser-
voir is full during filling.
Follower plate
The function of the follower plate is to prevent grease tunneling and pump cavitation.
