TYPICAL
INSTALLATION

The 83167 Pump is used as the

pumping unit for a centralized
lubrication system having a single
line circuit of SL-1, SLS-11, SL-32,
OR SL-33 Injectors.

It is an air operated reciprocating

pump that discharges an established
amount of lubricant *(.11 cu. in.) into
the circuit for each pump cycle.

*Based on lubricants that are free

of entrapped air. Lubricants that are
aerated will reduce output of pump.

FILL RESERVOIR
Use 81834 Manual Filler Pump to fill reservoir through the filler
fitting in the pump body. Attach coupler on delivery hose to filler.
Stroke filler pump handle until lubricant weepage is noted at air
vent hole in reservoir (lower portion of follower must rise beyond
air vent hole to expel entrapped air from lubricant).
NOTE: When filling the reservoir, caution should be used as extreme
pressure can cause damage to reservoir and follower assembly.

 INSTRUCTIONS FOR PUMP USING 85209 CONTROL PANEL
TO PRIME SYSTEM
SUPPLY LINES:
After pump reservoir has been filled with recommended lubricant,
loosen all plugs in dead ends of injector manifolds and supply lines.
Turn vent plug in pump counter-clockwise one complete turn. Depress
manual lube pushbutton on door to start pump. Operate pump until
lubricant bleeds around vent plug to expel air pockets trapped between
the pump and the supply line connection. Tighten vent plug. continue
operating pump unitl lubricant flows around any plug. Tighten plug.
Repeat this procedure until all plug openings are tight and supply lines
are primed. Turn off power to reset controller.
IMPORTANT:
Refer to Owner/Operator Manual C8 259 to program controller on
85209.
FEEDER LINES:
Fill each feed line with lubricant before connecting lines to outlets of
injectors and bearings. This will prevent having to cycle each injector
to fill the feed line between injector and bearing.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PUMP USING 83820 TIME CONTROL
TO PRIME SYSTEM
SUPPLY LINES:
After pump reservoir has been filled with recommended lubricant,
loosen all plugs in dead ends of injectors manifolds and supply lines.
Turn vent plug in pump counter-clockwise one complete turn. Set the
delay relay to its maximum position (Refer to Service Manual Section
C8, Page 133 Sefies). Depress push button on top of time control
to start pump. Operate pump until lubricant bleeds around vent
plug to expel air pockets trapped between the pump and the supply
line connection. Tighten vent plug. Continue operating pump until
lubricant flows around any plug. Tighten plug. Repeat this procedure
until all plug openings are tight and supply lines are primed. Open
line switch to shut off pump.
IMPORTANT:
Reset the delay relay to desired interval (Refer to System Planning
Manual).
FEEDER LINES:
Fill each line with lubricant before connecting lines to outlets of
injectors and bearings. This will prevent having to cycle each injector
to fill the feed line between injector and bearing.
INJECTORS:
Check injectors for proper operation by observing the movement of
the indicator stems.
VENT VALVE:
The 83948 Vent Valve is operated by compressed air from the same
source which operates the pump. When pump is in operation, air
pressure keeps the vent valve closed and lubricant is directed through the
outlet and to the injectors. When air to the pump is shut off, vent valve
opens and supply line pressure vents back into the reservoir.
SAFETY UNLOADER:
90942 Safety unloader is provided at the pump outlet to prevent
the build-up of dangerously high lubricant pressure in the system. It
is factory set to open at approximately 3,750 psi to 4,250 psi.
NOTE: Safety unloader requires no adjustment and should not be
tamperedwith.

Page 4 Form 403574
INJECTORS:
Check the injectors for proper operation by observing the movement
of the indicator stems.
OPERATION:
When model 85530 times out it will initiate a lube cycle. The air
solenoid is energized to deliver air to the pump and air to the vent
valve. Pump begins dispensing lubricant through injectors to the
bearings.
When all bearings have received lubricant, pressure rises in system
to actuate pressure switch. When pressure switch actuates, the
control is reset to de-energize solenoid valve cutting off air to pump
and vent valve. Pump stops, pressure vents and pressure switch
de-actuates. Control begins timing toward next lube event.
OPERATION
The timer (runs constantly when current is on), drives a cam which
has lobes set for the desired lubrication cycle frequency (Refer to
Service Manual Section C8, Page 133 Series). Lobes engage the
micro-switch lever arm to activate the switch, closing the circuit to
open the 3-way solenoid air valve permitting air to operate the pump.
The pump discharges lubricant through the supply line to the injectors.
After the injectors operate (discharge lubricant to the bearings), pump
continues to build up lubricant pressure in the supply line until sufficient
to operate the pressure control which moves a switch plate, breaking
the circuit to the 3-way, solenoid air valve, shutting off the air to the
pump. Injectors automatically, re-charge with lubricant and system
is ready for the next lubrication cycle.
The pressure control is factory set for 2,500 psi, adequate for any normal
installation. If higher pressure is necessary (2,900 psi maximum), the
pressure control can be reset;
1) Loosen locknut.
2) Turn the housing clockwise into the pressure control body until
proper pressure is obtained.
3) Tighten locknut.
To lower pressure (1,500 psi minimum);
1) Loose locknut.
2) Turn the housing counter-clockwise into the pressure control
body until proper pressure is obtained.
3) Tighten locknut.
WHAT TO DO IF:
Pump loses prime: Check lubricant supply.
10127 Vent Plug is provided at the pump outlet for expelling air which
may be pocketed in the lubricant. If pump operated continuously
without discharging lubricant, it is an indication that the pump has lost
its prime. Loosen the vent plug one turn until trapped air is pumped out.
If pump continues to operate without discharging lubricant, 10061 Pump
Check and 66002 Steel Ball may be fouled. Remove and clean checks
and check seats. The 83948 VentValve may also be fouled. Foreign
material may prevent 14722 Needle from seating proper]), or 14723
Valve Seat may be worn or damaged. Clean or replace parts.
Failure of injectors to cycle can also be caused by a leak in the supply
line. Examine lines and connections.
Pump fails to operate: Check air supply.
Centro-Matic® Automated Lubrication Systems
Introduction

Lincoln Centro-Matic® systems and components are made to match your application. Systems can service one machine,
different zones on one machine, or even several separate machines. Regardless of the application, the principle of
centralized lubrication remains the same: a central pump station automatically delivers lubricant through a single supply
line to the injectors. Each injector serves only one lubrication point and may be accurately adjusted to deliver the precise
amount of grease or oil required. Centro-Matic systems give you multiple advantages over other designs.
Simplicity
Systems are easy to understand, install and maintain. You realize savings right from the start because one lubricant
supply line means lower installation costs.
Powerful Pumping Unit
Centro-Matic systems dispense either grease or oil in measured quantities, unaffected by normal temperature or
viscosity changes. For large systems, Lincoln’s single-line design and powerful pumps mean injectors can be located
long distances from original refinery containers or bulk lubricant tanks.
External Adjustment
Lubricant injectors are externally adjustable without special tools so each bearing can receive the correct amount of
lubricant. No under- or over-lubrication at individual points.
Visual Indicators
Each injector incorporates an indicator pin that gives visual confirmation the injector is operating correctly. When
necessary, troubleshooting is the simple process of checking indicator pins.
Ease of Service
When injectors finally need service, the job is quick and easy. No need to remove supply line connections or disturb
adjacent injectors. Replacement can usually be done between lubrication cycles, so there’s almost no lubricant loss
or downtime.
Parts and Service
You’re never far from a Lincoln authorized distributor. Qualified distributors offer design engineering, startup help, and
training for your personnel in the use and maintenance of Centro-Matic systems. They’ll back you up with parts and
service for years after the sale.

Air-Operated Electric Manual Hydraulic

Actuated automatically by
compressed air at various
pre-determined intervals.
An air-operated pump
delivers lubricant to the
injectors. When all injectors
have cycled, the pump shuts
off automatically and vents
lubricant pressure. Available
with automatic, manual or
mechanical controls.
Used where compressed air
is not available, or electrical
operation is preferred. Totally
enclosed motor supplies the
power requirements of the
pumping mechanism. Time
control is adjustable to
provide predetermined
frequency of lubrication.
Designed for smaller,
individual machines, manual
systems provide a low-cost,
efficient method of distribut-
ing lubricant to the injectors.
Cycling a complete bank of
injectors takes only a few
seconds. In manually-
operated systems, the
lubricant pump is hand-
operated and the machine
operator performs the
lubrication intervals.
A complete hydraulically-
powered pumping unit for
centralized lubrication of
individual machines. Usually
installed on machinery such
as coal mining and earth
moving equipment which
utilize a hydraulic pressure
system. The frequency of
the lubrication cycle can be
set manually or by mechani-
cal or automatic controls.
