Operation
Shut Down.
1. For normal system shut down, disconnect power
to lubricator controller (J) by turning off the ignition
switch, and turn off hydraulic supply by closing the
ball valve (Fig. 2, item AA).
CAUTION
Never allow the pump to run dry of the fluid being
pumped. A dry pump will quickly accelerate to a high
speed, possibly damaging pump. If your pump
accelerates quickly, or is running too fast, stop the
pump immediately and check the fluid supply.
Troubleshooting
Problem Cause Solution
System does not build sufficient
pressure

Too low or no hydraulic supply
Vent valve seal failure
Vent valve needle/seat failure
Reservoir out of grease
Broken or leaky supply/branch line
Injector failure
Pressure in tank line too high due to
restrictions in tank line or plumbing
too small
