PRO MP-6 - Installation and Operation

 
Installation & Servicing Tips
1.
Ensure that newly installed bearings are pre-packed with grease
2.
Pre-grease bearings prior to installation using a manual grease gun to ensure that the grease point can freely receive grease.  Clean all fittings prior to greasing.
3.
Select proper LV size and distribution rate for application.
4.
Assemble and setup lubricator, including accessories, according to instruction manual (if necessary).
5.
Once installed, the lubricator should be periodically observed to check that accidental damage has not occurred.  Inspect the LED lights and display screen.  If remote mounted, check lines.

Remote Applications
Use flexible lines which are no more than 15 feet long and have an internal diameter of at 3/8".  Smaller diameter lines present increased resistance to grease flow.  Before installing, always prime grease lines and pre-grease bearings.  Minimize small orifice restrictions and ensure that the bearing will freely receive grease.
