1. GENERAL
Heavy trucks have need of auto grease lubrication systems. One pump supplies a large number of
friction points with lubricant via a system of lines and feeders/ distributors.

• Operation
The gear pump continuously supplies grease for the piston distributor through the main line network
during the pump operation time. After the completion of the pump operation(i.e. Interval time begins
simultaneously.), the pressure relief valve within the unit is opened, and the pressure within the main
line is relieved through this valve.
There after, residual pressure remains within the main line and the pressure ratings at this time are
approx. 0.2~1.0bar.
When the pressure within the main line is almost relieved, the distributor which has received grease
from the pump changes its function into distributing the grease to each greasing port.
(A given amount of grease is supplied for the spring chamber within the piston distributor.)

• Auto adjustment
The gear pump operates in compliance with the lubrication cycles as pre-adjusted on the control unit.
The signal lamp continues on for 42 seconds simultaneously with the starting of the pump operation.
If the main line fails to receive the required pressure, the signal lamp keeps lighting up even during
the interval time. When the battery main switch is turned to OFF, the signal lamp also is turned off.
When the trouble has identified and corrected, normal pressure is supplied and the signal lamp re-
sumes normal operation and then turns off again.

1-4-c. OPERATION
When the main switch is turned on after connecting the electronic control unit to the power source,
the cycle of interval time continues repeatedly and the pump stops its operation. Check to see if the
power lamp and signal lamp are turned on at the same time as the key switch is turned to “ON”. (At
this time the signal lamp goes out automatically in 3 seconds.)
• Check to see if, on the moment the manual switch is pressed, the pump is actuated and the motor
lamp comes on.
• Normally, the pressure of 38bar generated 154 seconds after the pump begins its operation ac-
tuates the pressure lamp to come on, and the pump completes its operation 154 seconds after it
begins its operation.
• Check to see if the lubrication time has been set as desired.

The distributor receives grease from the pump and send it back to each greasing point via its outlet port.

1-5-c. OPERATION
When the pump completes its operation, a given amount of grease which has been temporarily stored
in the chamber is distributed to each greasing port through the outlet port(2nd line connected to the
distributor, i.e. lead line) by the tension of the piston spring mounted in the distributor. Lubrication is
made possible only by the tension of the spring upon the completion of the pump operation.
When the pressure relief valve is opened, the pressure within the main line drops. The moment the
pressure within the main line drops, the change-over valve, i.e. check valve, is opened and discharges
grease. (opened to the main line)
• The pressure required to fill the chamber is at max. 37bar.
• The pressure required to supply grease for each greasing point by the piston spring is at 13.5bar.
• The main capacity of the metering nipples can be identified by the code No. and type of nipple.
• When changing a metering nipple, adjust the grease feed accordingly.

1-6-c. OPERATION
The pressure switch changes over the pressure generated by the pump to electrical signal and transmits
to the signal lamp or control unit the information that the pressure required for CLS reaches the desired
level. This switch also monitors the functions of the system itself. The switch is actuated at 25bar as a
basic point. When the pressure within the system(main line and distributor) drops below 25bar, the signal
lamp continues on to detect that grease coming from the gear pump has not been filled in the main line
and distributor.
When grease remains below MIN line in the pump, the minimum pressure of 25bar required within the
CLS cannot be generated. At this time, the pressure switch actuates the signal lamp and control unit to
detect a trouble.
When it is impossible to eliminate the cause of trouble, turn the key switch to “OFF”(as the interval time
is stored in the memory of the control unit) and then disconnect the connector from the control unit to
stop its operation.

3-2. CAUTIONS
1) When it is impossible to remove the cause of troubles, first turn off the main switch and disconnect
the terminal from the control unit to stop the function. (The interval time stored in the memory of
control unit is suspended.)
2) Always inject grease into the pump in extremely clean environment. And use the same brand
grease. ( If the grease contains foreign substances or when different brand grease is used, pump
and piston distributor will be damaged.)
