2. Preparations before Operation
[Assembling the unit]
(Fig. 1)
1) Insert the pump assembly in the center hole from the front side
of the lid.
2) Fix the pump assembly and the lid with 3 pan-head screws from
the rear side of the lid.
3) Connect the high-pressure hose for grease (separately
available) to the valve kit at the pump discharge port and
connect a high-pressure grease gun to the other end of the
hose.
[Setting the pump]
(Fig. 1)
4) Remove the lid of a new grease can and set the attached follower plate.
Place the follower plate on the grease horizontally and push it down by
rubbing it to left and right with a hand until the grease comes out from
the packing in the middle of the plate.
<Note>
When using the follower plate for the first time after purchasing the
product, pack grease beforehand in the rear-side concave portion of
the plate. This facilitates the work. (Fig. 2)
5) Insert the pump in the packing in the middle of the follower plate and set
the lid on the pail can. Fix it securely by screwing 3 wing bolts equally.
<Note>
Take extreme care not to allow sand and dust to adhere on the suction tube and follower plate of the pump
assembly. Do not blemish the packing of the follower plate by the end of the lower pump.
[Connecting to power supply]
6) Place the unit on flat and stable place.
7) Connect the attached cord assembly (5 m) to the power supply.
CAUTION
- The applicable power source is AC-100V only.
[Bleeding air for grease]
(Fig. 3)
8) The pump starts running by turning the switch ON. The first applied
grease includes the internal air of the pump. This is not a good
condition. Obtain a perfect condition by the next operation.
First open the valve kit and operate the pump until grease is discharged from a small hole under the check valve.
After grease is discharged in a perfect condition, close the valve kit. At this time, spread paper so that grease
may not come into touch with the hand, and dispose of the discharged grease.
<Note>
The grease in which air is mixed is cloudy in white.
9) Discharge the air-mixed grease completely from the high-pressure grease gun and the hose by pulling the gun
lever.
