 Autolube System Overview

The T-282B is equipped with either a hydraulically or air operated Auto Lubrication
System. This system consists of a centrally located lubricant reservoir and pump unit,
connected to a network of hoses, manifolds and adjustable injectors that automatically
supply lubricant to all critical pivot points on the machine. The following drawings and
figures show the basic functions and overall layout as it has been applied to the T-282B
Mine Haul Truck.

 Basic Auto Lube System Overview

• The Lincoln Industrial rotary Hydraulic Pump is a fully hydraulically operated grease pump. Grease
output is proportional to the hydraulic input flow. The pump is primarily designed for a centralized
lubrication system.
• Input oil pressure to the pump and output lubrication pressure to the grease injectors is relegated by a
“suggested” ratio. The “theoretical” ratio of the pump is 9 to 1 (9:1). The Liebherr applications and
internal frictions encountered will produce a slightly lower output ratio.
• An integrated pump control manifold is incorporated with the motor to control input flow and pressure.
• A 24 VDC solenoid is also incorporated as a method to turn the pump on and off.
• The pump is driven by the rotary motion of the hydraulic motor.
• Rotary motion is converted to reciprocating motion through an eccentric crank mechanism.
• The reciprocating action causes the pump cylinder to move up and down.
• The unit is a positive displacement double acting pump as grease output occurs during both the up and
down stroke.
• The unit is a positive displacement double acting pump as grease output occurs during both the up and
down stroke.
• During the down stroke, the pump cylinder is extended into the grease.
• Through the combination of shovel action and vacuum generated in the pump cylinder chamber, the
grease is forced into the pump cylinder. The volume of grease during intake is twice the amount of
grease output during one cycle.
• Simultaneously, grease is discharged through the outlet of the pump.
• During the upstroke, the inlet check closes, and one half of the grease taken in during the previous
stroke is transferred through the outlet check and discharged to the outlet port.
The pump and the controller systems are in a rest state until a preset time interval occurs.
• When the controller times out, a 24 VDC signal will energize SV1 and force it to the open
position.
• As SV1 opens, the resulting hydraulic fluid pressure flows through the pressure reducing
valve.
• The pressure reducing valve lowers the hydraulic fluid pressure to the operating range of the
hydraulic pump.
• The hydraulic pressure closes the vent valve and passes through the flow control valve to the
pump beginning the operation of the grease system.
• The pump will run a predetermined period of time dependent of the condition of the truck.
The Lube pump will not cycle if one or more of the following conditions is met:
1. The engine is NOT running.
2. If the truck is in the operation of steering.
3. The Autolube Pressure Switch is closed.
4. If the truck is in Neutral and the “No Auto Lube in Neutral Option” has been
activated in the ECOMAT Program.
• When the maximum pressure is reached the end of line pressure switch closes.
• When the end of line pressure switch closes SV1 de-energizes and the valve closes.
• When SV1 is de-energized the hydraulic fluid stops flowing through the pressure reducing
valve and the pump stops cycling.
• The vent valve is de-energized, it opens and allows the grease pressure to drop to zero. The
injectors can now recharge for their next output cycle.
• The system is now at rest and ready for the next lube cycle and the sequence will repeat
itself.

Pressure Control Valve Adjustment

• Loosen the lock nut on the Pressure control by turning the nut COUNTERCLOCKWISE.
• Turn the valve stem COUNTERCLOCKWISE until it no longer turns. (The valve stem will unscrew
until it reaches the stop. It will not come off.)
• This is the minimum pressure setting. (Approximately 170 PSI (12 Bar))
• With the pump stalled against pressure, turn the Pressure Control Valve stem CLOCKWISE until the
manifold pressure gauge reads 350 PSI (24 Bar). Do not exceed 450 PSI.
• Tighten the lock nut by turning CLOCKWISE.
 Pump Manifold Pressure Adjustment

Flow Control Valve Adjustment

Flow control is factory preset and should not be adjusted unless the pump is not functioning properly
and the appropriate gauge pressure has been verified.

Flow is adjusted by turning the Flow Control Valve stem CLOCKWISE to reduce the flow and
COUNTERCLOCKWISE to increase it.

• Loosen the lock nut on the Flow Control Valve by turning the nut COUNTERCLOCKWISE.
• Adjust the flow by turning the valve stem CLOCKWISE until it stops.
• Turn the Flow Control Valve COUNTERCLOCKWISE 1/2 turn. (DO NOT turn the Flow Control
Valve out more than 2 ½ turns.)
• After adjusting the flow to the desired setting, tighten the lock nut by turning it CLOCKWISE.

Supply to
Vent Stem injectors

The vent valve is used to vent excessive grease pressure to the atmosphere. If an excessive amount of
grease is coming out of the vent stem check the following:
• Pressure Reducing/Regulator valve is set too high.
• Blockage in grease output line.
• Vent bleeder screw loose. (Located on the end of vent stem)
 If the connections for the hoses
are not kept tight, the injector
output drops to the connecting
component. More importantly:
If one connection is loose, the
manifold pressure drops and
reduces lubrication effort to all
connecting components.

Dust covers are used on the

manual purge zerks. These zerks
do not have a check ball on the
inside. A loose cap will allow the
same conditions as above.

When adjusting the injector

output, a minimum “spring”
pressure will give you the
maximum grease output.
