1. Safety Information
Please read the operation manual carefully to avoid incorrect operation and damage.
1-1 Application
Trico Corporation centralized lubrication systems are designed for the mechanism lubrication
like, bearing, guide way, drum, gear, chain,….. and so on.
Trico Corporation be applied for lubrication on industrial machinery like, lathe, milling
machine, press machine, grinding machine,….. and so on.
PE-60,70,80 series have to cooperate with piston distributors and depressurization device.
Under the lubrication, the piston distributor lubricates at steady flow rate in every cycle.
1-2 Intended Use
Remark: Trico Corporation centralized lubrication systems are must only be used for their
intended purpose and in accordance with the specification and installation instructions for the
product in question. Products of Trico Corporation centralized lubrication systems must not be
used in conjunction with fluids, group I(hazardous fluids), according to the definition of
article 2 paragraph 2 of the Directive 67/548/EC dtd. 27thg June, 1967; and are not approved
for application with such fluids.

Note !! Make sure the power cable is disconnected before the installation.
a. Remove the e lectrical control box cover of the e lectrical control box connection box
(Fig. G).
b. Loosen the cable gland (Fig. H).
c. Insert the cable into the e lectrical control box through the cable gland hole (Fig. I).

d.Connect the power cable as the wiring diagram (Fig. J), then connect the ground cable.
e. The function of float switch is to release the warning message to stop the machine
when the lubricant is at the low level.
f. If you need interval lubrication function, the lubricator needs to manage ON/ OFF
through timer function. It is controlled by an external controller.
g. Float switch terminals are available (Standard connection is at NC and COM).
h. Close the cover after connecting all cables.
i. To protect the cable from being pulled out of the box and disconnected from the ports,
fasten the gland again (Fig. K).
j. Connect the lubricator with power supply properly and the lubricator will starts with
operation.

4. Instruction
4-1 Operation
If lubrication is needed during the intermittence, please push the FEED button.
Make sure the power cable is disconnected before the installation or removal of the
system. Turn ON the power after more than twenty seconds of turning OFF.
The adaptor of the system for connecting the pipe is without one-way function for the
system. It is prohibited for changing to non-original set-up to avoid malfunction.
Note !! The set-up of intermittent time needs to be above five times than lubrication
time to prolong the life of the motor(the recommended minimum intermittent
time is 3-minute).
4-2 Lubricant Filling
Always keep the oil level between the level of 30% and 80% of the tank height. Float switch
will output signal when the remainder of the lubricant drops below the height if the float
switch, and it is time to fill the tank. Remove the oil tank cap (Fig. D), you can fill the
tank.
Attention! Recycled lubricant is PROHIBITED
5. Maintenance
Trico Corporation centralized lubrication systems are of low maintenance. However, related
connection needs to be reviewed if properly fitted to secure the proper function of the system.
Please clean periodically the oil tank of Trico Corporation centralized lubrications. If the user
wants to clean the tank, please TURN OFF the system first and remove the bolts on the tank
to separate the tank for cleaning. After cleaning the tank, please fasten the bolts to fix the
tank.
Please follow below requirements,
Restart the lubricator after 20 sec. of turning off to stabilize the performance of the lubricator.
It is prohibited for changing to non-original set-up to avoid malfunction.
 The One-way adapter cannot be applied.
