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

NOTE
Emphasizes useful hints and
recommendations as well as
information to prevent property damage
and ensure efficient trouble-free

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

Description
Pump  is used as pumping unit for
centralized lubrication system having single
line circuit of SL-, SL-, SL- or
SL- injectors.
It is an air operated reciprocating pump
that discharges . in(1,8 cm3)of
lubricant into circuit for each pump cycle.
Fill reservoir
 Use  manual filler pump to fill
reservoir through filler fitting () in
pump body.
 Attach coupler on delivery hose to
filler fitting.
 Stroke filler pump handle until there is
weepage at air vent hole in reservoir.
Lower portion of follower () must rise
beyond air vent hole to expel entrapped
air from lubricant.
NOTE
Caution should be used when filling reservoir
as extreme pressure may cause damage to
reservoir and follower assembly.
NOTE
Amount of lubricant discharged is based on
lubricants free of entrapped air. Aerated
lubricants will reduce output of pump.

Lubricate air valve
mechanism
 Disconnect air to pump and remove
four cover screws (), cover plate ()
and cover plate gasket ().
 Remove and disassemble air valve
casting () from pump.
 Air valve casting should be cleaned or
flushed to remove any chips or other
foreign particles prior to reassembly.
 Before replacing toggle assembly (),
pack cavity with grease.
Use  /oz (44,3 ml) of NLGI  water
repellent grease.
 Replace cover gasket (), cover ()
and screws (). Tighten to avoid air
leaks.
 Periodic inspection of parts at least
once each year is advisable for
optimal use.
Change pump to new
series follower
configuration
 Use follower upgrade kit .
 Remove bushing (), washer
assembly () and retaining ring ().
 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).
Prime system
Supply lines
Operate pump until lubricant starts to bleed
around vent plug to expel air pockets
trapped between pump and supply line
connection. Continue operating pump until
lubricant flows around any plug.
Feeder lines
Fill each feed line with lubricant before
connecting lines to outlets of injectors and
bearings to prevent having to cycle each
injector.
Operation
Lube cycle initiates when pump times out.
Air solenoid is energized to deliver air to
pump and vent valve. Pump dispenses
lubricant through injectors to bearings. Once
all bearings receive lubricant, pressure rises
in system to actuate pressure switch. When
pressure switch actuates, control is reset to
de-energize solenoid valve, cutting off air to
pump and vent valve. Pump stops, pressure
vents and pressure switch de-actuates.
Control begins timing toward next lube
event.
Vent valve
Vent valve () operates with 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 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
  psi to   psi (259 to 293 bar).
WARNING
Safety unloader requires no adjustment
and should not be tampered with.
Failure to comply may result in death
or serious injury.

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.
