OM4207 04/10 Automatic Lubrication System - Section 42 42-7 INJECTOR OPERATION STAGE 1. Injector piston (2) is in its normal or “rest” position. Discharge chamber (3) is filled with lubricant from the previous cycle. With pres- sure applied from incoming lubricant (6), slide valve (5) is about to open passage (4) leading to measuring chamber (1).
Section 42 - Automatic Lubrication System 04/10 OM4207 42-8 LUBRICANT PUMP Pump Housing Oil Level The pump housing must be filled to the proper level with SAE 10W-30 motor oil. Check the oil level at 1000 hour intervals. To add oil, remove plug (4, Figure 42-6) and fill the housing to the bottom of the plug hole.
OM4207 04/10 Automatic Lubrication System - Section 42 42-9 INJECTORS (SL-1 Series “H”)) Injector Specifications • Each lube injector services only one grease point. In case of pump malfunction, each injector is equipped with a covered grease fitting to allow the use of manual lubrication equipment.
Section 42 - Automatic Lubrication System 04/10 OM4207 42-10 SYSTEM PRIMING The system must be full of grease and free of air pock- ets to function properly. After maintenance, if the pri- mary or secondary lubrication lines were replaced, it will be necessary to prime the system to purge entrapped air.
