Safety*
The assembly must be installed, maintained
and repaired exclusively by persons familiar
with the instructions.
Always disconnect power source
(electricity, air or hydraulic) from the
equipment when it is not being used.
This equipment generates high pressure.
Extreme caution should be used when
operating this equipment as material leaks
from loose or ruptured components can
inject fluid through the skin and into the
body. If any fluid appears to penetrate the
skin, seek attention from a doctor
immediately. Do not treat injury as a simple
cut. Tell attending doctor exactly what type of
fluid was injected.
Any other use not in accordance with
instructions will result in loss of claim for
warranty or liability.
• Do not misuse, over-pressurize, modify
parts, use incompatible chemicals, fluids,
or use worn and/or damaged parts.
• Do not exceed the stated maximum
working pressure of the equipment or of
the lowest rated component in your
system.
• Always read and follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations regarding fluid
compatibility, and the use of protective
clothing and equipment.
• Failure to comply may result in personal
injury and/or damage to equipment.
CAUTION
Do not operate equipment without
wearing personal protective gear.
Wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing pro-
tection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
Failure to comply may result in light
personal injury.
WARNING
Do not allow any body part
to be trapped by equipment.
Body parts can be crushed
by subassemblies during
operation.
Failure to comply may result in death
or serious physical injury.
WARNING
Do not allow fluid to leak
onto floor when operating
equipment. If spill occurs,
clean any fluid on floor before continuing
operation.
Failure to comply may result in death
or serious personal injury.
WARNING
Do not use this equipment to supply,
transport, or store hazardous
substances and mixtures in accordance
with annex I part - of the CLP
regulation (EG /) or HCS 
CFR . marked with GHS,
GHS and GHS hazard pictograms
shown:
Explanation of signal
words for safety
NOTE
Emphasizes useful hints and
recommendations as well as
information to prevent property damage
and ensure efficient trouble-free
operation.
CAUTION
Indicates a dangerous situation that can
lead to light personal injury if
precautionary measures are ignored.
WARNING
Indicates a dangerous situation that
could lead to death or serious injury if
precautionary measures are ignored.
DANGER
Indicates a dangerous situation that will
lead to death or serious injury if
precautionary measures are ignored.
WARNING
Do not operate equipment
without reading and fully

 Use manual filler pump to fill reservoir
through filler fitting in pump body.
 Attach coupler on delivery hose to filler
fitting.
 Stroke pump handle until lubricant
weepage is noted at air vent hole in
reservoir. Lower portion of follower must
rise beyond air vent hole to expel
entrapped air from lubricant.
NOTE
When filling reservoir, caution should be
used as extreme pressure can cause
damage to reservoir and follower
assembly.
DANGER
Do not operate unit with
combustible gas.
Failure to comply may result in death
or serious injury.

To prime system
Supply lines
After pump reservoir has been filled with
recommended lubricant, remove all plugs in
dead ends of injector manifolds and supply
lines. Turn vent plug in pump counter-
clockwise one complete turn. Operate pump
until lubricant flows freely from vent plug
opening to expel air pockets trapped
between pump and supply line connection.
Tighten vent plug. Continue operating pump
until lubricant flows from any plug opening.
Close opening with plug. Repeat procedure
until all plug openings are closed and supply
lines are primed.
Feeder lines
Fill each feed line with lubricant before
connecting lines to outlet of injectors and
bearings. This will prevent having to cycle
each injector repeatedly to fill feed line
between injector and bearing.
WARNING
Safety unloader requires no adjustment
and should not be tampered with.
Failure to comply may result in death
or serious injury.
Operation
Operation of model  pump is fully
automatic, controlled by  or  volt DC
electric timer and electric operated solenoid
air valve. As truck operates, timer
periodically turns on switch that energizes
solenoid air valve. Solenoid air valve opens,
and admits regulated air to Centro-matic
pump, closing vent valve. Pump begins to
operate, delivering lubricant through supply
lines to each lubricant injector.
As pump builds up pressure, a measured
amount of lubricant is dispensed to bearings
by each injector. After all injectors have
cycled, lubricant pressure rises rapidly to
  psi (165 bar) with air regulated to
 psi (4 bar), and pump stalls against
pressure.
Timer switch contact is broken, and
solenoid air valve is de-energized, shutting
off air supply; air then exhausts from pump
and vent valve assembly. As air is relieved,
vent valve opens and lubricant pressure in
system vents back through supply line to
lubricant reservoir. Injectors reload, and
system is ready for next lubrication cycle.
Injectors
Check each individual injector for proper
operation.
Vent valve
Vent valve () is operated by compressed
air from same source that operates pump.
When pump is in operation, air pressure
keeps vent valve closed and lubricant is
directed through outlet and to injectors.
When air to pump is shut off, vent valve
opens and supply line pressure vents back
into reservoir.
Safety unloader
Safety unloader () is provided at pump
outlet to prevent build up of dangerously
high lubricant pressure in system.
It is factory set to open at approximately
  to   psi (258 to 293 bar).
Change pump to new
series follower
configuration
 Use follower upgrade kit .
 Remove bushing (), washer
assembly and retaining ring
() from old follower assembly.
 Place follower washer () on lower
side of follower packing (), making
sure top follower washer is still in place.
 Place o-ring ()into bushing.
 Place gasket () on bushing ().
 Place bushing and gasket into assem-
bled follower packing and washers.
 Place  drops of blue Loctite  at
° apart on threads of bushing.
 Assemble nut () to bushing
and tighten.
 Place hex of bushing in vice and tighten
nut to  in-lbs (± in-lbs).

Troubleshooting
Problem Cause Solution
Pump operates continuously. Pump has lost prime. Examine lubricant supply. Refill reservoir
if necessary.
Air pocket trapped in lubricant. Loosen vent plug () one turn. Allow pump
to operate until trapped air is pumped out.
Close vent plug.
Pump continues to operate without discharging
lubricant.
Pump check () and steel ball ()
fouled.
Remove and clean checks and check seats.
Vent valve () fouled. Replace vent valve.
Foreign material prevents needle ()
from seating properly.
Clean or replace parts.
Pump fails to operate. Air system is leaking. Verify air supply is connected.
Verify air system is not leaking.
Injectors fail to cycle. Leak in supply line. Examine lines and connections.
