1. PRESENTATION
•The ÅSSA Type B lubricator is intended for automatic oil lubrication of machinery and
also for dispensing lubricants.
•When an electrically driven lubricator (Model BSM) is to be used in an explosive
environment an electric motor of the correct type and safety class must be used.
2.SAFETY REGULATIONS
•Read the instruction manual carefully before starting the lubricator.
•These lubricators may only be used for the media for which they are intended.
•All components used together with the lubricator must be capable of withstanding its
flows and pressures.
•Do not exceed the maximum permissible back-pressure.
•Make sure that the lubricator drive is disconnected before any dismantling or servicing.
•Note that leaks or other fine jets of liquid under high pressure can cut the skin. It is
especially important to be careful with oil systems that operate under high pressure.
•Inspect the equipment for wear at regular intervals, paying particular attention link
systems in the case of ratchet drive. Be careful when in the neighbourhood of rotating
drive shaft couplings, hand cranks and ratchet drive systems.
3. TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
GENERAL
The lubricator consists of a reservoir with lid, which contains the pump mechanism and pump body. A mechanical or
electric drive unit is mounted on one end of the reservoir. A hand crank or a feed pump may be mounted on the other
end. Extra accessories are a level monitor, flow monitor and heater.
OPERATION
The pump shaft 4gives the pump plunger 7 a reciprocating
motion combined with a rotary motion at dead centre. By
means of the grooves 8and 9in the pump plunger the cyl-
inder is put in communication alternately with the suction
and pressure passages in the pump body 5. When the
plunger moves upwards the oil is drawn up through the
suction pipe 10 to the sight glass holder 1and drips down
through the sight glass 2to the suction passage of the
pump body and is drawn into the cylinder when the plunger
moves upwards. The plunger then rotates so as to close
the communication with the suction passage and the pres-
sure passage is opened, whereupon the plunger moves
downwards and forces the oil to the discharge point. Any
oil that may leak past the pump plunger is drawn back into
the cylinder through the groove 6turned in the cylinder and
the return passage. All the oil that passes through the sight
glass is therefore forced out to the discharge point, regard-
less of the backpressure. The plunger stroke is set to give
the desired feed by means of the setting screw 3.
There is a separate pump body for each outlet. There are
no springs or valves whatsoever, and all movements are
driven inexorably.
TECHNICAL DATA
Noise level
The noise level is less than 70 dB(A)
Oils
The lubricator is capable of pumping oils and other lubricants with a maximum viscosity of approx. 600 cSt / 40°C.
Highly viscous oils and fluids may have to be pre-heated before they can be pumped.

4.ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION
•Make sure when unpacking that no items are missing from the delivery.
•Before assembling, make sure that all pipes and hoses are clean inside.
•The lubricator must be installed on a level surface. Use shims to eliminate any unevenness. This is
important in order to avoid stresses that might give rise to cracks in the reservoir. Fix the reservoir in place
with the requisite number of 3/8-16 UNC screws, which must not protrude more than 11 mm into the reservoir
mounting strips.
•In the case of rotary drive it is advisable to connect the drive shafts together with a flexible coupling.
•A guard must be fitted over the moving parts with ratchet or rotary drive in order to prevent accidents.
•Electric motors must only be connected to the mains power supply by an authorized electrician. Note the
direction of rotation of the motor as indicated byan arrow on the motor.
5.INITIAL START-UP
•Fill the reservoir with clean oil of the correct grade in accordance with the maker's recommendations for the
machine.
•Screw the setting screws 2(fig. chapter 3) all the way in for maximum discharge. Run the lubricator until oil
is discharged uniformly and without air bubbles from alloutlets. Connect the oil lines and run the lubricator
until oil emerges at the pipe orifices. Then connect the pipes to the lubrication-point connectors. Filling of the
lubricating pipes can be expedited by use of a separate oil pump.
•After a time in operation, check all connections, pipes and hoses for leaks.
Setting discharge rate
The discharge rate can be reduced by unscrewing the setting screw 3(fig. chapter 3). The setting screw has 4 detent
positions per rotation. If it is unscrewed more than about 5 rotations the discharge ceases completely. The discharge
rate can be calculated and adjusted with the aid of the following table. One pump stroke corresponds to one up-and-
down movement of the setting screw, equivalent to one revolution of the camshaft 4.

The discharge rates can be finely adjusted by counting the number of drops that pass through the individual sight
glasses per unit of time. One drop corresponds to approx. 0.03 cm3 (30 mm3), almost independent of the viscosity of
the oil.
6.MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Make regular checks of:
•Oil level in lubricator reservoir; it must not run dry.
In the ratchet driven version the ratchet mechanism is filled with highly stable grease during manufacture. We rec-
ommend the careful introduction of multi-purpose NLGI-2 EP grease with a grease gun through the drive ratchet
housing grease nipple every 8000 hours.
CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE
TROUBLE-SHOOTING
Problem
Action
Oil drip through sight glass has decreased
or ceased although the setting screws
move up and down (camshaft rotates).
Leaking sight-glass packings, cracked sight glass and/or
blocked suction pipe. Leaking vent screw.
Defective pump body.
Remove the sight-glass unit retaining screw B120. If necessary
replace the packings B1424, B2238-1 and the sight glass
B2086/III. Blow the suction pipe B2239-X clean. Tighten the vent
screw B2246B by hand. Replace the pump body LB378 (std).
Oil drip through sight glass has ceased.
The setting screws do not move (pump
shaft does not rotate).
Defective drive unit or power failure (model BSM) Disassemble
and repair the drive unit.
Sight glass wholly or partly filled with oil.
Excessive vacuum in sight glass.
Loosen the vent screw B2246B in the sight-glass holder and run
the lubricator until the oil has disappeared from the sight glass.
Tighten the vent screw by hand.
REPAIR
The procedure for disassembling and assembling the lubricator is clearly apparent from the spare parts drawings.
Always observe a maximum of cleanliness.
The plungers are individually fitted to the respective pump body cylinder bores and they must therefore be rein-
stalled in the correct pump body.
The lifters should be reinstalled in their original places since the setting screws in them are usually set differently.
Note how the pump shaft was mounted originally. It must not be reversed but must be reinstalled in its original posi-
tion.
The ratchet cross must also be reinstalled in its original position; otherwise the lubricator will not work and is liable
to damage when restarted.
Repair and servicing are handled by our local agents or directly by our factory.

Position of Ratchet cross:
The ratchet cross B1001 must be fitted as shown in
the adjoining figure (looking towards the shaft end).
If it is mounted incorrectly the motor will not drive
the lubricator. The end closest to the oil filler open-
ing is defined as the right-hand side of the lubricator
Right-hand drive side Left-hand drive side.
8. GUARANTEES
Correct assembly and installation in accordance with the instructions ensures safe and reliable
operation.
It is important that the personnel who use the equipment carefully read the instructions in detail.
We can accept no responsibility for faults that occur due to negligence in following the instruc-
tions. The guarantee ceases to apply if the customer disassembles the lubricator without our ex-
press permission during the guarantee period.
