Prefilling Lubricant Distributor Lines
Follow the following procedure exactly as written, in the
order written.
Filling Secondary-to-Lube Point Lines
Refer to FIG. 4. when performing this procedure
.
1. Remove port plugs or performance indicators from
all of the indicator ports on front of secondary
divider valves.
2. Connect a hand pump filled with clean, filtered lubri-
cant to the indicator port closest to the first line to be
filled that corresponds to the output port that is feed-
ing the line to be filled.
3. In order to verify when lubricant is flowing and has
reached the end of the lube line, loosen the connec-
tor at the lube point of the line that is to be filled.
4. Stroke the hand pump until air-free lubricant is
observed flowing from the end of the lube line.
5. Tighten the lube line connector at the lube point, but
do not replace the port plugs or performance indica-
tors into the ports on the front of the working sec-
tion.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 for each of the other lube lines
connected to the other outlet ports in the secondary
divider valve assembly and for any other secondary
divider assemblies in the system.
NOTE: Do not replace any of the performance indica-
tors or port plugs removed in Step 1 until the line-filling
procedure described in Section 2 (Filling Master
-to-Secondary Lube Lines) has been completed.
Filling Master-to-Secondary Lube Lines
Refer to FIG. 5. when performing this procedure.
1. Remove the port plugs or performance indicators
from all the indicator ports on the front of the master
divider valve.
2. Connect a hand pump filled with clean, filtered lubri-
cant to the indicator port closest to the lube output
port that is feeding the line to the secondary divider
valve.
3. Stroke the hand pump to fill the line between the
master divider valve and secondary divider valve.
NOTICE
• The initial startup and operation is the most critical
operating period for a newly installed machine in
terms of potential for being damaged by unre-
moved/unfiltered lubricant contaminants and lack of
adequate lubrication. Proper prefilling of lubrication
system ensures that lubricant is immediately avail-
able to every lube point during machine startup,
protecting them from damage.
• Use only clean oil filtered to the SAE -recom-
mended cleanliness level of ISO 18/14 (ISO Stan-
dard 4406) when prefilling a system. The
manufacturers of the machine tool and its compo-
nent bearings should be consulted to ensure that
the ISO 18/14 cleanliness level is adequate.
