The operator of the described prod-
uct must ensure that the operating
instructions are read and understood
by all persons responsible for assembly,
operation, maintenance, and repair of
the product. The operating instructions
must be kept readily available.
Note that the operating instructions
form part of the product and must
accompany the product if sold to a new
owner.
1. Safety instructions
In addition to the operating instructions,
statutory regulations and other general
regulations for accident prevention
and environmental protection must be
observed and applied.
The described product is manufactured in ac-
cordance with the generally accepted rules and
standards of industry practice and with occu-
pational safety and accident prevention regula-
tions. Risks may, however, arise from its usage
and may result in physical harm to persons or
damage to other material assets. Therefore the
product may only be used in proper technical
condition and in observance of the operating
instructions. In particular, any malfunctions
1.1 Authorized personnel
Only qualified technical personnel may install,
operate, maintain, and repair the products de-
scribed in the operating instructions. Qualified
technical personnel are persons who have
been trained, assigned, and instructed by the
operator of the final product into which the de-
scribed product is incorporated. Such persons
are familiar with the relevant standards, rules,
accident prevention regulations, and assembly
conditions as a result of their training, experi-
ence, and instruction. They are authorized to
identify and perform necessary actions while
avoiding any risks which may arise.
The definition of qualified personnel and the
prohibition against employing non-qualified
personnel are laid down in DIN VDE 0105 and
IEC 364.
1. Safety instructions
which may affect safety must be remedied
immediately.

1.2 Electric shock hazard
Electrical connections for the described prod-
uct may only be established by qualified and
trained personnel authorized to do so by the
operator, and in observance of the local elec-
trical operating conditions and local regulations
(e.g., DIN, VDE). Significant bodily injury and
property damage may result from improperly
connected products.
Danger!
Performing work on an energized
pump or product may result in serious
injury or death.
Assembly, maintenance and repair work
may only be performed on products
that have been de-energized by

Lubrication systems are pressurized
during operation. Centralized lubrication
systems must therefore be depressur-
ized before starting assembly, main-
tenance or repair work, or any system

The EFFP electrical grease feed pump is suit-
able for mobile use. It is used to fill lubrication
pumps or as a lubricating aid for progressive
feeder systems.
Greases up to a maximum effective flow pres-
sure of 700 mbar are supported, including
greases based on mineral oil as well as envi-
ronmentally friendly and synthetic oils and
greases.
The pump fits common grease drums (also
referred to as hobbocks) with capacities from
16 to 25 kg.
The technical data presented in Chapter 10
must be observed for intended use.
Any other usage is deemed non-compliant
with the intended use.
Hazardous materials of any kind, especially the
materials classified as hazardous by CLP
Regulation EC 1272/2008 may only be used to
fill SKF centralized lubrication systems and
components and deliv-ered and/or distributed
with the same after consulting with and re-
ceiving written approval from SKF.
The product described here is neither designed
nor approved for use in conjunction with gases,
liquefied gases, pressurized gases in solution,
vapors and such fluids whose vapor pressure
exceeds normal atmospheric pressure (1013
mbar) by more than 0.5 bar at their maximum
permissible temperature.
Unless specially indicated otherwise, products
