Central Lubrication; Manual Lubrication; Filling Up Of Lubricant - Volvo FM Driver's Handbook Manual

Central lubrication

The central lubrication system automati-
cally performs the lubrication that is
otherwise carried out at the vehicle service.
The advantages of this is that you get a
more even lubrication at all locations and
the service occasions are fewer.

Manual lubrication

The central lubrication system can be acti-
vated manually with a switch under the
pump's plastic casing on the main unit.
If uncertain about the function of the cen-
tral lubrication system, check the central
lubrication system's fuse and do the lubri-
cation manually.

Filling up of lubricant

Important! It is extremely important that
the right equipment and the correct grease
quality are used when filling so that dirt
does not get into the system.
