Installation & Servicing Tips
|
|
1.
|
Always ensure that newly installed bearings are pre-packed prior to installing lubricator.
|
|
2.
|
Pre-lubricate bearings using a grease gun to ensure that the point can receive grease freely. Clean all fittings to prevent contamination.
|
|
3.
|
Select the appropriate dispensing rate to suit each application.
|
|
4.
|
Decide whether to direct or remote mount depending on access and safety considerations. When remote mounting, do not exceed the recommended line dimensions.
|
|
5.
|
Activate the lubricator prior to installation by fully inserting the activation screw. When the activator becomes hand tight, take a screw driver and insert it through the top ring of the activator. Continue to tighten until the O-ring breaks off. DO NOT break ring off by hand.
|
|
6.
|
Write the installation and replacement dates on the lubricator and record the dates in the site maintenance scheduling system or keep a separate record.
|
|
7.
|
Screw the lubricator into the grease port by hand - tools are not necessary.
|
|
8.
|
Once installed the lubricator should be periodically inspected to check that accidental damage has not occurred.
|
|
9.
|
Change-out lubricator on the planned date.
|
|
10.
|
When changing-out empty lubricators, manually purge the bearing to ensure the lubrication conditions have not changed.
