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.

FUNCTIONS OF THE COMPONENTS


1. Control unit
This unit is an electronic device designed to monitor troubles within the system and to control the opera-
tion. Care should be taken so that water or moisture may not penetrate the inside of the system. When
the key switch is turned to “ON” to start the pump, the signal lamp is turned on for about 3 seconds. If the
signal lamp indicates a trouble during the operation of the system, or if the signal lamp would not be
turned off 3 seconds after the key switch is turned to “ON”, it is necessary to check the unit for a trouble.
• Pressure switch
The pressure switch is installed to the distributor located farther from the pump. The signal lamp comes
on when the residual pressure within the line is 25±2.5bar(having a function of checking the pump and
grease line for leakage)
3. Distributor
After the gear pump operation is stopped, this distributor feeds grease supplied from the gear pump
to each greasing port at pressure of 5bar.
- Types of nipple vary from port to port(0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6cc)
NOTE) Should you have any trouble with your auto lubricating system, contact immediately your nearest
Daewoo dealer or the manufacturer’s A/S Division.
4. Gear pump unit
This operates at a high pressure(38bar) for 154 seconds and supply the oil for the distributor through the
main line.
- Lubrication cycle: 0.5 ~ 11 hours
- Manual operation is possible, but once the unit is operated manually, it does not operate again within
5 minutes.
• Grease replenishment intervals
Specified grease: NLGI GRADE 000.00
- Refill up to MAX. line of the grease tank every 2 months.
- When injecting grease, use care to prevent foreign substances from entering the tank.

11. AUTO GREASE LUBRICATION SYSTEMS

1-3. GEAR PUMP


1) Gear pump is driven by the power generated using the key switch and feeds grease at a high
pressure(38bar) to the distributor through the main line.
2) The grease which has filled up the distributor loses pressure simultaneously with the stoppage of
pump operation.(13.5bar)
3) The check valve is actuated and feeds the pre-programmed amount of grease to each greasing
port through the lead line.(2nd line)
4) Lubrication cycle(0.5~11 hours) and pump operation time are controlled in accordance with the
data inputted in the control unit.

11. AUTO GREASE LUBRICATION SYSTEMS

• 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.)

• Pressure curve within the main line


Maximum pressure inside the main line is obtained at the front portion of the pressure regulating
valve of the gear pump.

• 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.

11. AUTO GREASE LUBRICATION SYSTEMS

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.

1-4-d. MANUAL OPERATION METHOD


Pressing the manual operation switch(DK) installed on the flank of the unit will enable manual lubri-
cating operation. At this time, if the manual operation switch is actuated, the interval time stored in
the memory is set back to “ZERO(0)”.

1-5. DISTRIBUTOR
1-5-a. FUNCTIONS
The distributor receives grease from the pump and send it back to each greasing point via its outlet port.
Metered quantities of distributors : 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 and 1.0cm
Depending on tubing layout : 2.4 and 6port distributors

11. AUTO GREASE LUBRICATION SYSTEMS

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. PRESSURE SWITCH


1-6-a. FUNCTIONS
The pressure switch changes over the pressure generated by the pump to electrical signal and trans-
mits 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.

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.

11. AUTO GREASE LUBRICATION SYSTEMS

1-7. SIGNAL LAMP


- Normally, each time the switch key is turned to “ON” regardless of the pump operation, the signal lamp
is lit for 3 seconds and then goes out.
- If the lamp continues on during the operation of the truck, it means that there is a trouble with the system.

6) Cautions when servicing


• Always turn the switch to “OFF” when disconnecting or mounting each system of C.L.S.
• Keep clean each part when servicing the main device of C.L.S. Greater care should be taken
especially when replacing the metering nipple.
• Use the specified cleansing oil(benzene or mineral oil) when cleansing parts of the system.
• Absolute cleanliness must be maintained when doing any work on the system, especially when
replacing metering nipples on distributors. Dirt in the system causes malfunctions.
Never use trichloroethylene, perchloroethylene or similar liquides agressive to perbunan(Buna N
materials) when cleaning centralized lubrication systems.
