■System application
This motorized gear pumpAMSis designed to lubricate each point
on a machine by delivering relatively small amount of oil through a
metering valve.
Do not use this system for any other purposes.
■Marks used in manual
In this manual, safety precautions are provided using the marks
below in order to prevent accidents which might cause injuries to
human bodies. Be sure to carefully read these safety precautions to
understand the contents thoroughly before handling the pump.


Make sure to fix the pump firmly.
Insufficient mounting of the pump could
fall itself and cause injury.
Be sure to fix the pump against the vertical and
flat surface, which can sustain its weight
sufficiently.
Mount and fix the pump firmly using three (3)
M6 bolts.
LUBE recommends anti-vibration rubber
to be applied when the pump is exposed to
vibration.
Be sure to allow necessary space around the
pump as shown on the next page for operation
and maintenance.

4. How to control the pump
Install timer(s) on the machine and set the discharge
timer and interval cycle as defined below.
The operating time and nonoperating time are not limited.
Within the operating time of the pump, oil is discharged
continuously.

The oil amount adjustment screw is set to the full discharge
position (maximum discharge amount) when delivered
from the factory.

Adjust the oil amount as follows
1）Loosen the lock nut by turning it counterclockwise.

2）Loosen the needle valve by turning it counterclockwise
using a flathead screwdriver to determine the oil
amount.
3）Tighten the lock nut by turning it by hand clockwise.

Adjusting the discharge amount using the oil
amount adjustment screw may decrease the oil
amount discharged from the discharge outlets
extremely. During piping, adjust the discharge
amount while checking it.

  5. Lubricating oil and refilling
     
5-1 Lubricating oil to be used
Use industrial lubricating oil in the range from 32 to
1300 mm2/s of ISO viscosity.
Do not use any lubricating oil other than that
which has been recommended.
Use lubricating oil of the same grade made by the
same manufacturer.

5-2 Refilling lubricating oil
Refill lubricating oil when the level gauge on the tank
shows “L”.

In case of using oil level switch, refill oil when signal for
low oil level turns on.
 Use new lubricating oil. If lubricating oil contains
any foreign substances, clogging may occur,
causing the pump to stop discharging oil.
Refill it through the refill port that you find above the
pump flange.
Please insert replenishment to “H” level.
If lubricating oil overflows or leaks, wipe off the
overflowing or leaking oil.

   6. Maintenance     
6-1 Suction filter
Replace or clean filter once a year.
Before conducting maintenance on the pump, turn
off the power and make sure that the pump
is not
operating. Conducting maintenance with the power
turned on will increase the risk of the operator
getting an electric shock or the fingers being pinched
in moving parts of the pump drive unit.
Proper lubrication cannot be expected if the
suction filter is clog or become dirty because oil
may not suck well clog or dirty suction filter may
cause over load, too.
Replacement of suction filter
1) Take off from tank.
2) Remove the suction filter located filter bracket in the
filter bracket.
3) Replace or clean filter.
4) Set pump on the tank.

6-2 Troubleshooting
When troubles occur, take the measures as defined in the chart below.
Trouble Cause Measures to take
Low oil level Refill the same oil in use
Refer to
“5.
Lubricating oil
and refilling”
Clogged suction filter
Clean or replace filter, or
change oil to new oil
Refer to
“6-1 Suction filter”
Damage in the tubing inside
the
pump (Twisted, crashed,
or disconnected)
Tighten or replace the
connecting parts
No oil discharged from
pump
Viscosity is too high, so that
oil can not be sucked
Recheck oil in use and
replace it to proper oil
Refer to
“5.
Lubricating oil
and refilling”
No oil discharged from pump
due to any of above causes Refer to above measures
Air in the tubing
Take off closure plug(s) at
the end and operate
pump and bleed air in
tubing
Foreign particle(s) at the
ball seating section of relief
valve
Contact LUBE
Pressure in main
tubing is not built up
Pump discharge low
pressure due to relief valve
wrong pressure
setting
Contact LUBE
The relief valve
pressure has been set
before shipment

17
Trouble Cause Measures to take
Oil leaking from pump
discharge port or pipe
connection parts on machine
(Due to looseness or
excessive tightness)
Tighten them with proper
torque or re-pipe them
For proper torque
refer to “
Tightening
level for connecting
sections” of the
next page
Pressure in main
tubing is not built up
Damaged tubing
Replace damaged tubing
Ai
r in the system due to
above reasons
Refer to above measures
for “Air in the pump”
and
“Air in the tubing”
Air in the system
Due to low level of oil in
tank, air is introduced
into
pump
Refill tank with same
or
equivalent oil and then
bleed air
Pressure does not increase
Refer to above measures
for “
Pressure in main
tubing is not built up”
No oil discharged from
valve(S)
Viscosity is too high, so the
reaming
pressure are not
relieved completely
Check oil and change oil

      Causes and measures
         
■Causes

Causes for contamination can be divided into two categories.

○Before the completion of installation
  Foreign particles in the tubing or pump tank.
(Manufacturing defects of the assembly parts or connecting
parts and unconformity during construction.)

○During operation
  Foreign particles from outside or generated inside of
the system.
(Condensation of the moisture in the air due to change in
temperature or sludge by oxidation of lubrication oil
itself.)


■Measures

1. Clean the tank and remove the foreign particles.

2.Keep the oil for refilling in the proper place.
 If the system is installed and/or oil is stored outdoors,
proper care must be taken since introduction of dust or
rain into the oil would lead to system malfunction.
