Deaerate central lubrication

    1454
    Stop carriage outside needle bed.
    1455
    Loosen vent screw (7) somewhat.
    2. 1456
    Swivel central lubrication into mounting position.
    Recommendation: Place a cleaning cloth under the central lubrication, as oil will be fed.
    1457
    Activate the Deaeration button.
    Maintain Machine -> Lubricating -> Deaeration
  2. The pump feeds oil into the oil line.
    3. 1458
    If oil comes out of the hole of the vent screw, switch off the Deaeration button.
    1459
    Tighten vent screw again (9.5 Nm).
    1460
    Repeat the deaeration process on all lubrication units.
    1461
    Stop the carriage on the needle bed.
    1462
    Activate the Deaeration button.
    Maintain Machine -> Lubricating -> Deaeration
  1. The pump supplies oil to the lubrication points.
    2. 1463
    Feel the lubrication point for holding-down jacks next to the left needle brush with your finger.
    1464
    If oil leaks from the felt of the lubrication point for holding-down jacks, switch-off the Deaeration button.
    1465
    Check for oil leakage at the lubrication point for holding-down jacks of the opposite carriage.
    1466
    Push the carriage from the current location.
    1467
    Check the lubricated points on both of the needle beds and clean-up excess oil.
  1. Required for initial commissioning, after a long period of downtime or refilling
  2. Ensure that the lubricant container is free of bubbles.
  3. Consult the SKF Gear Pump Unit's instructions.
    1468
    Detach the oil line at the first metering device and lead it into the lubricant reservoir.
    1469
    Therefore, press the ring of the metering device and tear out the line simultaneously.
    1470
    Activate the Deaeration button.
    Maintain Machine -> Lubricating -> Deaeration
    1471
    Only turn the Deaeration button off again when oil flows into the lubricant reservoir without bubbles.
    1472
    Plug the line into the metering device again.
    1473
    Repeat the ventilation process at the subsequent lubrication points.
    1474
    Run the pump until oil can be seen discharging at all lubrication points.
