WARNING WARNING EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD Misuse can cause death or serious injury. • Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. • Do not exceed the maximum working pressure or temperature rating of the lowest rated system component. See Technical Data in all equipment manuals. • Use fluids and solvents that are compatible with equipment wetted parts. See Technical • • • • • • • • • Data in all equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s warnings.

Installation and Setup Installation and Setup Installation Guidelines Determining Correct Mounting Method NOTE: • Direct mounting should be used for lubrication points that are easily accessible. • Remote mounting is recommended if you answer YES to any of the questions below. Do not puncture, open or take canister apart. Opening or breaking the canister will expose users to the fluid and gases contained inside.

Installation and Setup Electronic Control Setup Setting Up the Electronic Control The discharge settings can be programmed for any length of time between 1 to 12 months and the interval may be changed at any time. 1. Repeatedly press the SET button on the electronic control cover until the number of months you are setting is displayed on the screen. The following instructions assume this is an existing installation and you are replacing the lubrication cartridge.
PAGE 7
Installation and Setup NOTE: • If at anytime during operation you need to turn the unit OFF, press the SET button repeatedly until two horizontal lines appear on the display. This indicates the control is OFF. • The discharge period can be changed at anytime to suit equipment demands or planned maintenance cycles. • The current discharge setting is always displayed. Preparing for Installation Use the following procedure to check the counter pressure of the application prior to installation.
PAGE 8
Installation and Setup 3. Install lubricator unit into adapter (B). If the counter pressure does not decrease you may need a different lubricant or size lubricator canister. Contact Graco Customer service for assistance. B 4. Install reducers, extensions, grease line, etc. (if necessary). 5. Screw a pressure manometer into the lubrication point (dd) (FIG. 3, page 7). 6. Ensure the stop valve (cc) of the pressure manometer is open. 7.

Installation and Setup Remote Mounting Installations • Installations up to 3 ft away from the lubrication point can be mounted with flexible tubes and a bracket. Refer to FIG. 5, FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 for examples of correct remote mounting installations. • Remote installations require a grease line. Graco recommends using a tube with an inside diameter of at least 6 mm (1/4 inch). Direct Mounting Reducer (optional) A 1.

Changing the Lubrication Canister Changing the Lubrication Canister 1. Relieve pressure, page 4. Canister Disposal 1. Use a spanner wrench to separate battery from lubrication canister. 2. Unscrew the lubrication canister and remove from grease port. 2. Dispose of the battery and lubrication canister in approved containers, and according to applicable local and state guidelines. 3. Remove the protective plastic cover over the electronic control.

Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Malfunction Possible Cause Canister empty No lubrication Grease spurts from lubricator when removed from service Lubricator off Resistance to grease flow too high Solution Replace canister See Setting Up Electronic Control, page 6 • Manually purge point to ensure that grease can be freely received by bearing.
PAGE 13
Troubleshooting Malfunction Possible Cause Average ambient temperature is below -20°C (-4°F) Grease dispensing too slowly Resistance to grease flow too high Solution Remote mount lubricator in area with an ambient temperature within specified range of -20°C - +60°C (-4°F +140°F) • Manually purge point to ensure that grease can be freely received by bearing.
