Setup

Valve Sections (MSP, MHH and MXP modular-type, divider valves, only)

Valve sections (three or more required per manifold) contain a piston specially fitted to that section, built in outlet check valves and various passageways that, working with the piston, meters and valves the flow of lubricant (FIG. 2).

Valve sections may be manufactured to require one or two lube outlets. Stamping located on the face of each section indicates:

the style of divider valve section, i.e., MSP, MX, etc.,

the discharge per piston stroke expressed in thousandths of cubic inches (35 = .035 in3 ) and,

the number of lube outlets required (S = single, one outlet only; T = twin, two lube outlets required).

Prefilling Lubricant Distributor Lines

Follow the following procedure exactly as written, in the order written.

NOTICE

The initial startup and operation is the most critical operating period for a newly installed machine in terms of potential for being damaged by unre- moved/unfiltered lubricant contaminants and lack of adequate lubrication. Proper prefilling of lubrication system ensures that lubricant is immediately avail- able to every lube point during machine startup, protecting them from damage.

Use only clean oil filtered to the SAE -recom- mended cleanliness level of ISO 18/14 (ISO Stan- dard 4406) when prefilling a system. The manufacturers of the machine tool and its compo- nent bearings should be consulted to ensure that the ISO 18/14 cleanliness level is adequate.

Filling Secondary-to-Lube Point Lines

1.Remove port plugs or performance indicators from all of the indicator ports on front of secondary divider valves.

2.Connect a hand pump filled with clean, filtered lubri- cant to the indicator port closest to the first line to be filled that corresponds to the output port that is feed- ing the line to be filled.
