Assembly and Installation

Security note: If the lubricator is started without opening the outlet or in case of
blocked grease lines within the installation, the pressure in the lubricator can build up
approx. 5 bar. At an overpressure of approx. 6 bar the lubricator breaks at the defined
breaking point between housing and bottom. The pressure behind the piston releases
and oil or grease can come out at the breaking point.
Warning: For applications in explosive gas or dust atmospheres,
precautions shall be taken to minimize the risk from electrostatic discharge
or propagating brush discharges at the product surface. Cleaning of the
surface shall be done using a damp cloth.
The correct functioning of the lubricator can only be assured if recommended lubricants
(see table on page 14) and original simalube accessories are used, and if the instal-
lation, operating and maintenance instructions are closely followed. The manufacturer
cannot accept any responsibility for damages as a result of ignoring the instructions
mentioned above. Important: Before putting simalube into operation, fill extensions
and the lubrication lines with the appropriate simalube greases (cartouches SL01 ...SL26)
using a grease gun. Use only original accessories.
Temperature/Output rate
The output rate can be adjusted as required, depending on the ambient temperature (see
table).
Example: You want to set the dispensing time for a 125 ml simalube for 180 days.
Ambient temperature: 20 °C
Setting: 6
1) Open the lubricator outlet by removing plug.
Do not remove plug from oil filled units! Cut off the pro-
truding nipple with a knife; a small black point becomes visible
(opening now guaranteed).
2) To start the simalube lubricator, set the gas generator to the
required dispensing time (stepless in months, 1–12) using a
3 mm allen key. The lubricator is activated once the dispensing
time has been set. Take the required dispensing quantity from the
tables on page 11.
3) Note the starting date on the label using a waterproof pen.
4) Clear grease lines and fill them with the appropriate grease.
Screw simalube onto the greasing point. If necessary, use
accessories shown on page 33–39. Apply safety rules.
5) Once the set dispensing time has expired, replace empty lubri-
cator with the same type or refill. Before restarting, clear grease
lines and fill them with the appropriate grease.
6) The gas generator is sufficient to empty the unit once, irrespec-
tive of the dispensing time set.
Ambient temperature: 55 °C
