Greasing System Function Service Training

Normal greasing time or duration of a greasing cycle undercarriage:

The complete greasing cycle should take about 10-15 sec.

The conditions of greasing:

As well in the normal mode as in the test mode the following conditions must be given:
• The engine must be running.
• The grease drum must not be empty.
• There must not be any error message.

Fault messages (and switch-off of the grease pump) in the undercarriage:

• No “50bar pressure built up” after start of the pump within 30sec (t2 – t1)
• No “50bar to 180bar pressure built up” within 60sec (t3 – t2)
• No “180bar to 50bar pressure decrease” after switch off the pump within 60sec (t4 – t3)

=>Fault messages can only be deleted by pressing the reset button (for 1 sec).

BCS fault messages (without grease pump being switched off) undercarriage:

• When cable of the pressure sensor is broken.

The functions of the reset button:

Press button: Function:

1 sec resets values and deletes fault messages (also done upon engine start!).
5 sec starts the test mode (15 min).
1 sec stops the test mode.

Test mode undercarriage:

The test mode is initiated by pressing the reset button for 5 sec. The pump operates 15 min. continuously.
The test mode can be stopped by pressing the reset button for 1 sec !
