Troubleshooting - Automatic Lubrication System

NOTE: If blockage occurs at a lube fitting or in a lube line, or if a leak occurs in a line, the supply of grease is automatically stopped at the relevant secondary distributor. Pressure rises between the secondary and primary distributors and grease emerges from the pressure relief valve.

Grease emerges from pressure relief valve

Blockage at lube fitting or in lube line

One at a time, open each of the lines between the primary and secondary distributors. The blockage lies behind the secondary distributor with the line from which the most grease is emerging. Clear the blockage by placing a commercially available grease gun (pressure up to 40000 Pa; 400 bar; 5800 psi) at the relevant secondary distributor.

Leakage at a lube point

One at a time, open each of the lines between the primary and secondary distributors. The leakage lies behind the secondary distributor with the line from which the most grease is emerging. The leakage can be localized by placing a commercially available grease gun (pressure up to 40000 Pa; 400 bar; 5800 psi) at the relevant secondary distributor.
