Installation and operation
Installation
Place unit in approximate location making
sure electric and hydraulic power
connections are accessible
1 Mark center locations of six holes at
bottom of reservoir
2 Drill six 1 / in (13 mm) holes Use of
2
/ in (10 mm) bolts will offer some

flexibility in securing reservoir to
equipment
3 Connect lubricant outlet of pump to
system with suitable hose capable of
3 500 psi (241 bar) working pressure
4 Hydraulic inlet connection should be made
with at least 3 / in (9 mm) inner diameter
8
hose capable of at least
3 000 psi (207 bar) operating pressure
5 Hydraulic return to tank connection line
should be 3 / in (19 mm) inner diameter

hose or pipe
Refer to 404554 for setting pump pressure
and flow control
Pump operation
Filling reservoir
To bulk fill reservoir:
1 Clean area around filling port
2 Remove lower and upper pipe plugs from
side of reservoir
3 Attach appropriate bulk-filling pump to
lower inlet (1 in NPT)
4 Fill reservoir until grease appears at top
1 1 / in NPT vent high level port

5 Remove bulk filling pump
6 Replace both pipe plugs
WARNING

Use caution when filling reservoir
Extreme pressure can cause damage to
reservoir or serious personal injury

Fill reservoir
(MSO equipped)
Body and guide assembly (25),
pivot arm (24), supply line relief,
follower (38) and cover (19) work in combi-
nation with each other to prevent grease
from overfilling reservoir during refill
process († fig. IPB 1, page 15 and
fig. IPB 2, page 16)
As grease fills reservoir, follower rises and
lifts pivot arm, forcing body and guide
assembly closed When body and guide
assembly closes, pressure continues to rise
in supply line causing pump to stall At that
point, supply line relief valve must be opened
to relieve pressure from system
Operational procedure
1 Verify relief valve is closed
2 Turn supply pump on
3 Supply pump stalls when gauge reaches
maximum
4 If grease level sensor or indicator option is
available with system, verify reservoir is
full of grease
5 Turn off supply pump
6 Open pressure relief valve to vent down
stall pressure Make sure relief valve is
open long enough to remove pressure
from system
7 Disengage quick disconnect
8 Cap quick disconnect ends to prevent
contamination
9 Leave relief valve open until next fill cycle
