S1 User Manual

Technolube S1 spring powered lubricator has a demand-feed system and is not time programmable. Bearings get only as much lubricant as they need.  The natural vacuum created in a bearing (Venturi Action) gently draws the grease into the bearing. When equipment is not operating there is no grease demand, which means that the grease will be rapidly discharged into the bearing housing if there is no back pressure on the unit.

If you have an open bearing located in an open housing (no mechanical seals installed), the lubricator will be discharged very quickly.  Please check the engineering drawings for the item you would like to lubricate, and from the drawings determine if there is sufficient resistance to permit the S1 units to operate correctly as designed.  If any doubt remains, then install a more positive Technolube product, from the EC, D or M series.

• If the Technolube S1 is already filled:

  • Make sure the valve position indicator located at top of dispenser is set to "OFF"

  • Turn and pull out the piston locking hinges found at the bottom of the lubricator.

  • Turn the valve position indicator to #5 to make sure lubricator is dispensing properly,

    and then turn to "OFF" position.

  • Install lubricator on lube point manually and set it to desired dispensing rate from (1~5).

• If the Technolube S1 isn’t pre-filled

  • Set Control knob to the # 3 position

  • Remove Red grease nipple cap and fill lubricator with grease gun until grease exits outlet via the centre sleeve of lubricator.

  • Set Control Knob to "OFF" position and fill lubricator until the piston ring reaches level indicator line that reads "Do not fill below this line"

  • Place Red Nipple cap back on the grease point for protection

WARNING:

• Please avoid overfilling.  This may damage the lubricator.

• Use a manual grease gun.  Do not refill with a  high pressure, high volume air/electrically operated grease gun as this may damage the Technolube S1, and warranty will be null and void.

• The Technolube S1 is not a time programmable unit.  The flow control valve is simply to allow you much more control over the dispensing rate.
