Installation
Prefill the Lubricant Distributor Lines
Follow the procedure exactly as written, in the order
written.
NOTICE
•
The initial startup and operation is the most critical
operating period for a newly installed machine in
terms of potential for being damaged by unre-
moved/unfiltered lubricant contaminants and lack
of adequate lubrication. Proper prefilling of lubrica-
tion system ensures that lubricant is immediately
available to every lube point during machine
startup, protecting them from damage.
•
Use only clean oil filtered to the SAE -recom-
mended cleanliness level of ISO 18/14 (ISO Stan-
dard 4406) when prefilling a system. The
manufacturers of the machine tool and its compo-
nent bearings should be consulted to ensure that
the ISO 18/14 cleanliness level is adequate.
Fill the Secondary-to-Lube Point Lines
Refer to F
. 4 when performing this procedure
IG
.
1. Remove port plugs or performance indicators from
all of the indicator ports on the front of secondary
divider valves.
2. Connect a hand pump filled with clean, filtered
lubricant to the indicator port closest to the first line
to be filled. The indicator port will correspond to the
output port that is feeding the line being filled.
3. To verify the lubricant is flowing and has reached
the end of the lube line, loosen the connector at the
lube point of the line being filled.
4. Stroke the hand pump until air-free lubricant is
observed flowing from the end of the lube line.
5. Tighten the lube line connector at the lube point.
NOTE: Do not replace the port plugs or performance
indicators into the ports on the front of the working
section.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 for each of the other lube lines
connected to the other outlet ports in the secondary
divider valve assembly.
7. Repeat steps 1-5 for any other secondary divider
assemblies in the system.

NOTE: Do not replace any of the performance indicators
or port plugs removed in step 1 until the line-filling
procedure described in Fill the Master-to-Secondary
Lube Lines (pg. 6) has been completed.

1. Remove the port plugs or performance indicators
from all the indicator ports on the front of the mas-
ter divider valve.
2. Connect a hand pump filled with clean, filtered
lubricant to the indicator port closest to the lube
output port that is feeding the line to the secondary
divider valve.
3. Stroke the hand pump to fill the line between the
master divider valve and the secondary divider
valve.
4. Continue to stroke the pump until the lubricant
purges all the air out of the internal passages of the
secondary divider valve, and air-free lubricant flows
easily from all indicator ports.
5. Reinstall the port plugs or performance indicators to
their respective positions in the secondary divider
valve.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 for each of the other lube lines
between the master divider valve and all other
secondary divider valves.
