The machine is a grease pump, designed and constructed to feed an automatic lubrication system
for systems or machinery in accordance with its technical specifications.
The machine uses an electric motor which, by means of a ratio motor, allows an eccentric system
to be driven which allows the pumping of GREASE from the included pumping element. Also by
means of the same motor, a stirring paddle is driven which acts inside the reservoir for the
purpose of removing the grease from the walls of the same and push it downward, in other words,
toward the action of the pumping elements. Filling of the included reservoir must be carried out
only by gun, pump or automatic system, through the included filling nozzle.
All the moving parts are protected inside fixed guards made of metallic material.
The machine is supplied only with an electric motor and relative connection terminal strip. The
connection and management (timed, manual or based on a level reading) of the electric activation
is delegated to the customer.
2. DESCRIPTION AND TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The machine is available in different configurations, inferred by part numbers, identical to one
another as a system of operation, system of protection for the machine operators, residual risks
and operator interface, which differ in the following elements:
type of electric motor and relative specifications of the electrical power supply;
type of ratio motor;
number of pumping elements;

7
dimension of the grease reservoir;
type of minimum and maximum level detection sensor (if present), namely induction or
laser.
2.1 General description
The 989 v2 range of lubrication pumps are particularly suited for plants with progressive systems
and can adapt to many needs without mechanical modifications, even after installation. In fact, be
choosing a set of components that are perfectly compatible with one another and easy to
assemble, you can vary the pressure, the quantity of grease distributed, the type of grease or the
type of distribution.
This construction technique is based essentially on the following modules:
Electric motor;
Pump body;
Pumping element;
Reservoir.
The bearing structure is the same for any version. The pumping element constitutes the essential
module.
Two types of reservoirs with different volume (from 5 or 10 kg÷11 or 22 lbs) can be arranged on
the pump body with stirring paddle and electric level indicator.
The 989 v2 OEM is fully protected against the external environment and can operate without
difficulty even in the most severe environmental conditions.
2.2. Standard pump components

2.2.1 Pumping elements
The pump can be supplied both with fixed flow rate pump element (17 cm^3 / min for each
pumping element) and with adjustable flow rate pump element (2.5÷17 cm^3 / min for each
pumping element).
The seal between piston and pumping body is a dry type since it has no gasket in between.
The pumping element check valve is the tapered seal type. This solution allows an outstanding seal
of the system to be guaranteed at high operating pressures (max pressure of 300 bar –4351 psi).
The line piping is connected directly to the pumping element outlet.
For the adjustment of adjustable pumping elements, see Paragraph 5.3.
Figure 2
2.2.2. Auxiliary pumping elements (optional)
The pump is installation-ready for another one or two pumping elements. This allows more than
one line to be fed or the outlets of two or three pumping elements (fixed and adjustable) to be
combined, mounted to double or triple the flow rate.
2.2.3 Laser for grease minimum level (optional)
The minimum level is achieved by a laser probe. The probe is normally closed when there is
grease. When the minimum level is reached, the probe signals the lack of lubricant.
For connections and settings, see paragraphs 4.2.3 and 5.4. respectively.
2.2.4 Grease stirring paddle (standard pump)
Two reservoirs have been provided with capacity of 5 and 10 kg. (11 –22 lbs).
As standard, the reservoirs have the stirring paddle that do not need to be disassembled in the
event of disassembly and replacement of the same.

The use of the 989 v2 in a way other than what is indicated above is considered improper use. The
989 V2 was designed and built to operate in environments where there is no potentially explosive
atmosphere and, in and of itself, cannot generate a potentially explosive atmosphere if used
correctly.
3.6.2. Improper use
Use of the 989 V2for operations other than those indicated above could cause damage to
personnel or to the 989 V2 itself and they are therefore considered improper uses for which the
MANUFACTURER will not be held liable. Any use of the 989 V2 with methods other than those
indicated in 3.8.1 Proper use is therefore to be considered improper and for this reason, the
MANUFACTURER will not be held liable.
The user is responsible for any damage stemming from failure to observe the operating conditions
agreed upon when establishing the technical specifications and during the order confirmation
phase.
The 989 V2 must not be used in an improper way. Specifically:
use of material other than those indicated in Intended uses;
use of the machine for operations other than those indicated in Intended uses;
washing the MACHINE with water;
installing and using the machine outdoors or exposed to adverse weather conditions;
installing and using the machine in an aggressive environment;
installing and using the MACHINE in a potentially explosive atmosphere;
loading the MACHINE without using the included loading nozzle and the relative filter;
using the MACHINE with the fluids indicated in the following Table 5.

4. TRANSPORT AND INSTALLATION
4.1. Preparations at the customer’s expense
Unless otherwise agreed upon, the following preparations remain the user’s responsibility.
Electrical power supply, with the suitable characteristics based on the type of motor installed
(on this subject, see paragraph 2.1 and in particular, the electrical characteristics indicated
specifically on the CE Tag of the individual pump unit).
Specific electrical disconnect switch on the power supply line, dedicated only to the MACHINE
or also relative to the machinery / system for which the MACHINE carries out lubrication, with
the following characteristics:
- isolates the electrical equipment from the power supply having only one open and closed
position;
- is lockable with suitable devices (for example a padlock) in open position 0 –OFF or fitted
with a wall plug;
- the disconnect device interrupts all the live wires on its power supply circuit.
Control system for management of the motor (start / stop pump) and the signals coming from
the level sensors located in the grease reservoir, fitted with a simple arrest dedicated control,
which, once launched, determines a stop in Category 0 or in Category 1, in order to have the
actuators of the MACHINE completely disconnected from the power supply in a reasonable time
in any case
MACHINE grease reservoir filling system, whether gun, pump or automatic.
Grease distribution system downstream of the MACHINE (the selection and installation of
which is the responsibility of the customer), including the piping and the connections, suitable
for managing the pressures that develop in it due to the pumping of grease in it by the
MACHINE, including the detection / reading system of the relative pressure point. To
determine the maximum operating pressure, it is necessary to know the pressure drop of the
pipeline connected to the pumping elements, depending on the length, temperature and type
of lubricant.

19
Depending on these variables to achieve a proper supply to the delivery point, it is always
necessary to ensure that the pipeline pressure loss plus the pressure required at the
lubrication point does not exceed the maximum pressure supplied for pump delivery
In the event of installation of emergency stop control, the logic chain that also includes the
MACHINE must reach a reliability such to guarantee a minimum Performance Level equal to PL =
c, in accordance with UNI EN ISO 13849-1: 2016
Room with the following operational environmental conditions, necessary for correct
operation of the MACHINE:
-ambient temperature - 10°C ÷ + 50°C (+ 14°F ÷ + 122°F);
-relative humidity 90%.
In the installation room, there must be no gases or corrosive or harmful acids, damaging both
to the operators and to the MACHINE itself.
In the installation room, there must be no potentially explosive areas generated by bases or
powders.
In the room where the machine is installed, a brightness must be guaranteed no lower than
300 lux, taking care for the uniformity of the lighting and the absence of reflections.
In the work room, the following must not be present:
-strong oxidising agents (acids in general, oxidising mineral acids, amino compounds,
magnesium, aluminium and zinc salts);
-open flames;
-sparks;
-heat sources;
-abrasive powders.

To carry out the task in question, the following Personal Protection Equipment is required:
4.2.1. Installation of the pump
To complete the task in question, carry out the following simple steps.
Position the pump and secure it to its support (on the wall or floor) by using the appropriate
Ø9mm eyelets, (0.354 in) with 4 suitable screws. The pump has limited dimensions and a
weight of 15 kg or 18 kg, depending on whether it is fitted respectively with a 5 kg or 10 kg
grease reservoir, to which the weight of the grease with a full reservoir must be summed.
Assemble the pump in such a way that the grease nipple for filling the reservoir is easily
accessible.
Leave at least 100mm (3.94 in) perimeter distance from other equipment or obstacles that
prevent access to the pump.
In the event of wall-mounted installation, mount the pump at “operator height” (about 1200
mm from the floor surface) to avoid abnormal posture or the possibility of impact.
Ensure that the pipes and wires have been properly fastened and protected from any possible
impact.
Verify that the grease used is fit for operating temperatures, especially at temperatures below
0° C. If in doubt, contact our Technical Office for the correct choice of lubricant.
4.2.2. Hydraulic connections
The plumbing connection point to install the pump to the system is located on the pumping body
with G1/4” thread for "Progressive" pumping elements and G1/8" for "Multi-line" pumping
elements. The possibility of having the return in pump with G1/8” thread is provided.
ATTENTION: the pipeline must reach the point of lubrication along the shortest route possible.
4.2.3. Electrical connection
The electrical connection is the responsibility of the user who must provide unequivocal
identification of the power supply connection and output signals.
Connect the machine to the electrical line as indicated in this manual.
