Pre-Filling Of Lubrication Tubes; Manual Pre-Filling; Automatic Pre-Filling; Connection Of Tubes To The Application - SKF LAGD 400 Instrucciones De Uso

See section 4.5. Insert the tube through the lubricator tube nut and compression fitting
with the thick end of the compression fitting furthest away from the end of the tube.
Insert the tube into the required outlet of the lubricator until it will go no further. Then
tighten the lubricator tube nut. The compression fitting should grip the tube quite firmly.
Check that the lubrication tube is securely fitted.
In the event that the lubrication tube needs to be refitted, a new compression fitting must
be used.
In the event that a particular lubrication point requires more lubricant, simply connect two
outlets to each other by means of a Y-connector.
Unused outlets must be plugged. First unscrew the protruding grease outlet from the
lubricator. Then plug the threaded hole by means of one of the steel plugs provided.
Note:
Only use the supplied plugs to plug unused outlets on the lubricator.

Pre-filling of lubrication tubes

4.5.1 Manual pre-filling

You can use a grease gun to pre-fill the tubes. Put a length of lubrication tube into the
open end of the filling nipple included with the lubricator. Connect the grease gun to the
other end of the filling nipple. Operate the grease gun to fill the tube with grease. If you
pump thick grease (NLGI class 2 or higher) into a long length of tube, the resistance will
be high. The high resistance causes the filling nipple to compress the lubrication tube. If
the end of the tube is damaged by the filling nipple, cut off the damaged end before you
connect the lubrication tube to the lubricator.

4.5.2 Automatic pre-filling

You can program the lubricator to fill a length of tube. Switch the lubricator off and push
the SET-button two times. A length is shown on the display. Push the +/- buttons to
adjust the length in steps of 50 cm (20 in). The maximum length is 500 cm (200 in).
Push the PUMP button to start the lubricator. The lubricator operates continuously at a
speed of approximately 19 cm/hour (7.5 in/hr) until the set length of tube fills with grease.

4.6 Connection of tubes to the application

Attach a G 1/4 connector to each lubrication point. If the G 1/4 connector does not fit,
make the connection with an SKF-type LAPN connection nipple (see 4.7).
Push the pre-filled tube into the connector approximately 10 - 15 mm (1/2 in).
Lightly pull on each lubrication tube to ensure that a firm connection made.
After steps 4.1 to 4.6 are complete, the lubricator can be used.
