GREASE PUMP 3

GREASE PUMP

This is stored inside the grease pump box on the right side of the chassis.

Method of Use

1. Open cover (1). 2. Rotate the lever of valve (2) upward 90° to set it to the (A) position. 3. When the lever of grease gun (3) is pulled, grease is discharged and the pump also starts automatically. 4. When the lever of grease gun (3) is released, the supply of grease stops. 5. After using, rotate the lever of valve (2) downward 90° to set it to the (B) position.

Precautions when Using

NOTICE When not using the grease pump, always rotate the lever of valve (2) down 90° to set it to the (B) position to prevent internal pressure from forming inside grease gun (3).

Set so that the grease fitting and the nozzle at the tip of the grease gun are perpendicular.

When removing the nozzle at the tip of the grease gun from the nipple, carefully angle the tip of the nozzle slightly and remove it. When there is only a small amount of grease left in the grease can, the pump will not pump out grease, so move the grease to the center or fill the can with new grease.

Supplying Grease

1. Remove 3 wing bolts (2) from grease can (1), then remove cover (3) from the pump. 2. Remove follow plate (4) inside the grease can.

REMARK If the hollow in the center of the follow plate is not fully filled with grease, air will be sucked in and it may not be possible to use all the grease.

3. Fill grease can (1) with new grease, then set follow plate (4) on top of the grease. Fill the hollow in the center of the follow plate with grease before setting the following plate on top of the grease. 4. Insert the pump into the packing at the center of follow plate (4), set cover (3) on grease can (1), then tighten 3 wing bolts (2) uniformly to hold in position. The pump will operate for a short time and then stop, but the first grease includes air inside the pump, so it is cloudy white and not suitable for use. 5. Loosen check valve (5), and pump out all the grease which has air in it from hole (6) at the bottom of check valve (5). 6. After bleeding the air, close check valve (5) securely.

7. After bleeding the air inside the pump, pull the lever of the grease gun to completely discharge the grease mixed with air inside the hose and grease gun. When filling with grease, be extremely careful not to let sand or dirt stick to the follow plate or pump suction portion. If there is ample grease, but the pump does not pump out any grease,the follow plate may not be correctly set in position, so set it in position again correctly. The standard grease can contains 16 liters (4.23 US gal). If an 18 liters (4.76 US gal) can is used, there will be more grease left.

REMARK Put the spare grease can beside the grease pump in the grease pump box at the right side of the machine.
