Safety Instructions
This manual serves as the basis for the safe operation of the machine and must be obser-
ved by all users. Please observe any restrictions imposed by applicable country-specific
laws.
The chain lubrication system works with oil. If improper work is carried out during in-
stallation or if a leakage occurs, uncontrolled oil loss can lead to contamination of the
motorbike or, in the worst case, to safety impairments. For this reason, the function must
be carefully checked before each ride and especially during the first few kilometres after
installation.
The chain oiler is intended for use on chain-driven two-wheelers. For other applications
no correct function can be guaranteed, operation is at your own risk and under exclusion
of any warranty. This applies in particular to the use of non-approved operating materials.
Installation and operation must be carried out in accordance with these instructions and
the intended use. In case of improper use or non-observance of these instructions, no
liability is accepted for any damage that may occur.

Work on the motorcycle‘s electrical system may only be carried out with the power sup-
ply disconnected (battery disconnected). If not all electrical plug connections are correct-
ly connected when the voltage supply is restored, this can lead to an error message or
malfunction on the motorcycle.

Rain / Offroad
Flushing
The oil application can be increased via an integrated rain control. By operating the rain
switch, the oil application is increased to 10 times the normal amount (LED in the switch
lights up red). The rain mode is reset by switching off the ignition or by pressing the key
again.
To flush the system, the rain switch must be pressed for 4 seconds. The red LED starts
flashing quickly as a feedback. This mode opens the dosing valve permanently and can
be useful in the following situations:
»Bleeding the system
»Re-oiling a dry chain within a short time
»After a long journey in heavy rain or very dusty conditions, restore the oil film
Attention: This mode leads to a very high oil release!

Temperature influence
The common range of use of a two-wheeler is between -10°C and +50°C. Within this tempe-
rature window the viscosity of the oil changes 60 times. In order to ensure uniform lubrica-
tion of the chain, the current outside temperature is measured in the control unit and the
oil flow is automatically adjusted. An adjustment of the oil used is not necessary.
Oil
We recommend to use the oil specially provided and tested by BEROTEC. In principle,
the use of other oils is possible. So-called „organic oils“ or salad oils should be avoided.
These have a tendency to resinify and can clog the system, especially if it is left standing
for a long time. Solvent-containing substances and water must not be added.
Viscosity recommendation:
Viscosity /40°C / ASTM D 7042 : 100 mm/s
Viscosity index / ASTM D 2270 : 135
Preparations
Specific installation instructions are available for many vehicle models.

Installation
Installation location
Ensure that no part of the system is installed near hot components such as the exhaust or
engine casing. Under the pillion seat there is often enough storage space for installation.
For an overview of the construction of the system, please refer to page 13.

Application nozzle
The best installation location always depends on the motorbike and should be chosen
so that safe mounting is possible.
A nozzle mounting clip, a self-adhesive nozzle holder with clamping screw and self-ad-
hesive hose holder are supplied for fastening and hose installation. The oil hose is clicked
into the hose holders. The clamping screw of the nozzle holder serves to lock the nozzle
position. The surface to be bonded must be degreased. Curved surfaces are unsuitable.
The application temperature is at least 20°C.
» Lateral contact with the chain wheel
• Most visible mounting
• Rotating movement of the chain wheel
transports the oil onto the chain rollers
» Lateral contact with the sprocket
• Concealed and protected installation
possible
• Rotary movement transports the oil
onto the chain rollers
» Direct oiling of the chain
• Oil application necessary on the inside
of the chain
• Easy to install
The application nozzle is made of copper and can be bent into position. The nozzle must
not be bent, kinked or shortened in very tight radii (capillary tube).
NOTE: Nozzle can be damaged
if the wheel is not changed
properly
NOTE: The higher speed at the
pinion may lead to higher oil
consumption
NOTE: Oil pollution possible due
to air turbulence of the freely
dripping oil
Damage to the nozzle possible
due to chain slamming

Oil tank and dosing valve
The hose connection of the oil tank should be at the lowest point and the gold-coloured
vent at the highest point, so that no oil can escape. The dosing valve can be mounted
higher than the oil tank.
The oil tank is filled via a T-branch connector. For this purpose, the hose must be cut and
the branch piece inserted into the hose between the oil tank and the dosing valve. The
sealing cap at the end of the filling hose must remain fitted during operation. The flow
direction of the dosing valve is marked with an arrow. To disconnect the quick couplings,
the black locking edge must be pressed before the oil hose can be pulled off.
Electrics
The chain oiler is delivered fully wired and tested. Only connect or disconnect the plugs
when the power is off.
Steps for electrical installation:
1. Select installation location for the control unit
2. Connect the dosing valve to the control unit
3. Fit the rain switch and connect the plug connection to the control unit
→ Do not lay the cable in direct proximity to the ignition system
4. Connect control cable (black/white) to switched 12V. Many manufacturers already
provide connections, often called „ACC2“ or auxiliary consumer connection. Alter-
natively, the branching flat plug can be plugged into the connection of the horn in
many vehicles (not in BMW), or the power supply for parking light, tail light or licence
plate light can be used. The diverted current is extremely low (20mA). This does not
affect the electronics.
5. Connect battery connection cable
Connect the ring eyelets to the plus (red) and minus (black) of the battery.
Notes: Continuous positive and control line can also be connected together to a swit-
ched power source (e.g. on-board socket, ACC2), provided that a sufficient power sup-
ply (520mA) is guaranteed. The pluggable fuse holder must only be used when directly
mounted on the battery. It is not necessary when connecting to an already fused line
(max.10A).

ATTENTION
The cable connection at the rear of the rain
switch must not be bent by force. This will dama-
ge the switch and does not constitute a warranty claim. We recommend that the plug side of
the cable is routed through the vehicle with the washer and lock nut fitted beforehand. The
cable must be mounted with full strain relief and protected - even at maximum steering angle.
Commissioning
The chain should be cleaned before starting up, as otherwise existing dirt and grease
residues will be loosened by the chain oil and thrown off. We recommend our chain clea-
ning set for this purpose.
Once the cabling is complete, the system can be put into operation. Activate the ignition.
The LED on the rain switch lights up for a short moment. This is a self test. From now on
it is possible to select and deselect the rain mode on the switch.
The system must be vented after initial filling. To do this, press and hold the rain switch
for 4 seconds. The red LED starts to flash quickly. This setting opens the dosing valve
permanently. It is now possible to wait until the system has vented itself or overpressure
can be created via the filling opening with an oil-filled syringe. The gold-coloured venting
opening must be closed for this purpose. The air is vented until the oil begins to drip at
the application nozzle. By pressing the rain switch again, the venting is stopped.
ATTENTIONBefore each journey, the entire system must undergo a visual and functional check to en-
sure that there are no leaks or defects.
English

Setting the oil quantity
It is recommended to select stage 0 on the rotary switch first. This is the setting with the
lowest oil application. The oil quantity on the chain must be checked after 5 KM at the
latest in order to prevent a malfunction and the associated very high oil application. The
entire system should also be subjected to a further visual inspection in order to detect
any errors during assembly.
After 50 KM the oil quantity can be increased step by step at the rotary switch. Changes
need about 200 KM before they become visible. This procedure can be used to avoid soi-
ling the vehicle. In case of very heavy oil application, oil can get onto the rear wheel rim
or tyre. The dosing setting on the rotary switch must be reduced immediately. A slight
wetting of the chain with an even lubricating film should be ensured.
The driver is responsible for adjusting and checking the oil quantity. No liability is accep-
ted for damage caused by too little or too much oil.
Operation and
maintenance
Refill oil
The chain oil can be refilled quickly and easily. The supplied syringe can be attached di-
rectly to the oil bottle opening. The cap on the filler neck must be removed by pressing
on the locking edge. The syringe is used to press the oil into the system (hold the filler
neck firmly). Venting of the tank is automatic. This process must be repeated until the
tank is full. The tank should not be overfilled, otherwise oil can escape from the venting
opening.
Control and maintenance
At the beginning, the chain should occasionally be visually inspected to en-
sure the correct basic setting. The level of the oil tank should be checked
and refilled after approx. 2500 KM depending on the application (long dis-
tance tank approx. 5000 KM). This prevents the system from running dry.

Expert mode
The expert mode is a possibility integrated in the chain oiler to freely adjust the lubrica-
tion quantity independent of the steps 0-9.
The levels 0-9 set the time between the lubrication intervals. These are permanently sto-
red, tried and tested and sufficient for most applications:

If a stronger or weaker lubrication is desired, a free time interval can be set:
»Set rotary switch to level 0
»Level 0 is used as a memory location for the freely programmed time. The table value
(445 seconds) is finally overwritten.
»Press and hold the rain switch for 10 seconds (ignoring that the rinse mode is activa-
ted after 4 seconds, keep the switch pressed)
»After 10 seconds the LED starts flashing every second, the switch can now be relea-
sed.
»Stop time or count seconds (flashing) until the desired setting is reached.
»Press the rain switch again → LED stops flas-
hing, time has been saved in the controller to level 0.
The setting range is limited between 10 seconds and 3600 seconds (1 hour).
»The procedure can be repeated as often as required, the old setting is overwritten.
»The lubricant quantity for the rain mode is automatically adjusted to ten times the
amount.
»Levels 1-9 can be used unchanged.
