Residual risks Table 2 Residual risks Residual risk Possible in life cycle Prevention/ remedy Personal injury/ material damage A B C G H K Keep unauthorized persons away. No people may due to falling of raised parts remain under suspended loads. Lift parts with adequate lifting devices.
• Whenever possible, always use SKF lubrication greases. They are ideal for use in lubrication systems. • Do not mix lubricants. This can have unpredictable effects on the properties and usability of the lubricant.
Solid lubricants Solid lubricants may only be used after prior consultation with SKF. When solid lubricants are used in lubrication systems, the following rules generally apply: Graphite: • Maximum graphite content 8% • Maximum grain size 25 µm (preferably in lamellar form) MoS2: •...
3. General description Maxilube pumping centre The pumping centre of the SKF MaxiLube central lubrication system is designed for pumping lubricant into a centralised lubrication system. The pumping centre can be controlled and monitored using a control unit integrated in the changeover valve unit, by sending SMS messages or by means of external control.
SKF Maxilube changeover valve unit The changeover valve unit includes a solenoid valve group (4) and a control valve group (2), pressure gauges (7) and a wall mounting plate which contains a bracket for the pump during the changing of the barrel. A Maxilube changeover valve unit with control includes a user interface (5) and a circuit board (3).
4. Operation Operation of the pumping centre When pressurisation starts, control unit opens both the line to be pressurised and the pump solenoid valves. The pneumatic system starts the pump and opens the line control valve. Pressurisation continues until the pressure at the pressure monitoring unit reaches a pre-set acknowledgement level.
4.2.1 Connections Lubricant connections: " lubricant outlets (1 or 2 pcs; line 1 out, line 2 out), G3/8”, hose Ø 12 mm or Ø 1/2” (L1, L2) " pressure inlet from the pump (G3/8), DIN 2353 shear ring coupling for a Ø 12 mm pipe (P) "...
4.2.2 Commissioning with Maxilube ECOlid set and MPB pump Fig. 6 Maxilube, ECO lid set and MPB pump Ensure that the surroundings of the pumping centre are clean. Impurities in the system will prevent trouble-free operation and cause damage at the lubrication point. Reserve a container for excess grease.

4.2.3 Commissioning with Maxilube STA lidset and MPB pump Fig. 7 Maxilube, STA lid set and MPB pump Ensure that the surroundings of the pumping centre are clean. Impurities in the system will prevent trouble-free operation and cause damage at the lubrication point. Reserve a container for excess grease.
Replacing the lubricant barrel < WARNING Pressurised lubricant Ensure that the system will not start during barrel replacement. Shut off the compressed air supply by lifting up the shut-off valve button (Fig. 8, pos. e) or set the compressed air pressure to 0 bar with the pressure regulator and the pressure gauge (Fig.
4.3.2 Maxilube STA with lid set and MPB pump Ensure that the surroundings of the pumping centre are clean. Impurities in the system will prevent trouble-free operation and cause damage at the lubrication point. Switch off the power at the pumping centre when replacing the barrel. Lift the low level switch rod (Fig.
Manual operation SKF Maxilube pumping centre can be operated by a manual procedure in the event of an electrical malfunction or when commissioning before electrification. Pressurise the system by using the manual control screws of the pumping centre's solenoid valve group (Fig. 3).
5. IF-105 user interface General description IF-105 is the user interface for the internal control unit of the SKF Maxilube changeover valve unit. Lubrication programming, alarm resetting and lubrication event monitoring can be performed with the user interface. Main components Figure 9 illustrates the structure of the IF-105 user interface.
Channel LEDs The LEDs CH1 and CH2 for the lubrication channels are only used in dual-channel systems. Description The red LED lights up when channel 1 is in alarm mode. The green LED lights up when channel 1 is in normal mode. The LED blinks when channel 1 is selected on the display.
Buttons The operation of the buttons is targeted to the channel which is selected on the display. Button Description In normal operation mode, the button is used to browse setpoints on the display. In setting mode, the button is used to change the value on the display. In normal mode, the button is used to browse line pressure displays in single- and dual-line systems.
Operation of IF-105 5.7.1 Normal mode Functions Display power saving mode In normal mode, the display will switch to power saving mode when no buttons have been pressed for ten (10) minutes. In power saving mode only the decimal points are blinking on the display. Lubrication events are performed according to the setpoints.
(the line pressure has not dropped low enough when the pressurisation phase starts) (Alarm, High Pressure) An alarm from the SKF Doser monitor doser operation indicator. The code is used only if SKF Doser monitors are in use. (Alarm, Indicator) An alarm from the air pressure switch of the grease spray system.
5.7.3 Normal mode displays, single and dual line lubrication systems ù Normal mode displays, which show lubrication program setpoints, can be browsed with ù Display codes change in the following order when is pressed. Display code Description The lubrication channel selected on the display. The code is used only in dual-channel systems. Press SET to switch to another channel when the code is displayed.
5.7.4 Normal mode displays, progressive lubrication system Normal mode displays, which show lubrication program setpoints, can be browsed with ù. Display codes change in the following order when ù is pressed. Display code Description The lubrication channel selected on the display. Press SET to move to another channel when the code is displayed.
5.7.5 Pressure and pulse displays for lines Pressure transmitter operation In pressure transmitter operation, line pressure displays can be selected with . Pressing the button will show the line 1 pressure display first. Code P1 and line 1 pressure display are displayed in turn. Pressing the button again will show the line 2 pressure display.

The SKF Doser monitors are in use when the factory setting parameter LGI has been set to YES. An alarm will be triggered when the SKF Doser monitor does not recognise doser operation during a lubrication cycle. The code AIn will be displayed. Lubrication continues normally despite the alarm. This feature is different from any other alarms.
