Automatic Greasing System

Some greasing points are not connected to the automatic greasing system, depending on the specific model. This section shows which greasing points are connected, or not, to the automatic greasing system.

E60599-UN-16JAN12

The system provides a grease pump driven by an electric motor, greasing lines, grease distributors, and an electronic timer controlled with the monitor. Once the system is enabled, the grease pump turns at regular ON and OFF intervals according to the operator settings. To enable, disable, or set the automatic greasing system, see USER FUNCTION PAGE in Electronic Control System section.

A - Relief Valve

Manually initiate automatic greasing cycle with monitor during 2 minutes to determine whether grease is supplied to all greasing points. See USER FUNCTION PAGE in Electronic Control System section to manually activate automatic greasing system.

If blockage occurs at a lube fitting or in a lube line, grease escapes from relieve valve (A). This valve is a safety feature which allows system checks.

Intermediate Greasing

Manually initiate automatic greasing cycle with monitor:

• During first 2 minutes at the start of each harvesting season.
• During first 2 minutes after cleaning with a high-pressure washer, steam cleaning, or cleaning with compressed air.
• During last 3 minutes at the end of the season.

Service

All system components are maintenance-free.

During the first few weeks of operation, periodically check the system and following points:

• Sufficient grease at bearing points.
• Broken or leaking lines.

Automatic Grease Lubrication System

E60840-UN-25JAN12

A - Pressure Release Valve

B - Main Divider Block

C - Grease Sensor

D - Grease Pump

The machine can be equipped with an automatic grease lubrication system, which consist of a central pump pressure release valve (A), main block divider (B), grease sensor (C), and a grease pump (D). Additional left and right side divider blocks and chain greasing.

The automatic lubrication system is controlled by the electronic control system.

Many greasing points of the machine are lubricated fully automatically.

The system can be refilled using:

• A standard manual grease gun.
• A grease gun or volume filler (air driven) via different connectors.
• A standard cartridge using a refill press.

Fill the grease container of the pump to a maximum as indicated on the outside of the grease container.
