c.

1.1.2Modu-Flo Options.

1.1.2.1 Options which are available for any system include the following:

a. Low-level switches which mount to the reservoir or tank and provide a low-level fault signal to a customerdesignated component. Level switch options are described in Section 5.

b. High-pressure indicators which are installed into the pump outlet circuit and provide an over-pressure signal to external components. Pressure switch options are discussed in Section 6.

c. A pneumatic solenoid valve which mounts directly to the manifold. The solenoid valve is a three-way, normallyclosed type. Use of the solenoid allows the pump to be cycled by various controller options. The solenoid is equipped with a manual override button which may be used to simplify system testing, line filling and line bleeding.

d. Several types of controllers are used which can be adapted to the system. Controller options are discussed in Section 8. Controllers available are as follows:

(1)Timers which may be set to cycle the pump at given intervals. Both AC and DC models are available.

(2)A TC-1000 timer can operate the lube system on either a time or machine cycle basis. It is available in 12 or 24 VDC or 115 or 230 VAC.

(3)A WMP Maxi-Monitor which provides a dispense signal on either a time or machine cycle basis. The WMP also monitors and displays the status of the lube system it is controlling. The Maxi-Monitor is available in either 115 or 230 VAC.

1.2GENERAL SYSTEM OPERATION

1.2.1 Figure 1-1 shows a functional schematic of a ModuFlo system.

1.2.1.1 The following steps outline the operating sequence of a Modu-Flo system:

a. Lubricant stored in the reservoir or tank flows to the manifold. The manifold may be mounted directly to the reservoir or tank, or it may be mounted on a wall.

b. The manifold directs lubricant into the pump to fill the pump chamber.

c. A controller energizes a solenoid valve to dispense and the solenoid sends air or hydraulic fluid to the manifold. Porting in the manifold directs the air or hydraulic fluid to the pump, causing the pump to dispense lube to the manifold outlet port.

d. When the controller releases the solenoid, air or hydraulic fluid is redirected, causing the pump to retract. On single-acting pneumatic pumps a spring pushes the pump to the retracted position.

e. Lubricant from the reservoir flows through the manifold and refills the empty chamber in the pump.

f. A pressure gauge, blowout disc, and high-pressure switch are options which may be connected to the output lube on the manifold. A signal from the pressure switch can be used to actuate an alarm or warning light.

g. Low-level switch options are available for all tanks or reservoirs. The switch provides an electrical signal when lubricant level is low.

2.1DESCRIPTION

2.1.1Reservoir Description. Reservoirs are cylindrical in shape and are used for either grease or oil lubricants. If a reservoir is to be used for grease it will be equipped with a spring-loaded follower which will apply pressure on the grease to force it into the pump. Reservoirs use cylinders made of metal or plastic. If a metal cylinder is used, the reservoir will be equipped with a level indicator to allow a visual check of lubricant level. Plastic cylinders are clear, allowing personnel to actually see the amount of lubricant present. The base of all reservoirs has the necessary tapped holes for either direct mounting of a manifold or for installing hose or tubing to a remote-located manifold.

2.1.2Tank Description. Tanks are rectangular weldments used for holding oil. All tanks are equipped with a sight glass to allow personnel to easily check the lubricant level. A pad mounted to the tank base provides the necessary tapped holes for either direct mounting of a manifold or for installing hose or tubing to a remote-located manifold.

2.1.3Reservoirs and Tanks Available. Table 2-1 lists the tanks and reservoirs available for use. Listings in the option column are used to identify the reservoir or tank selected when a Modu-Flo system is ordered. The option used is

2.3PREPARATION FOR USE

NOTE

Before filling any reservoir or tank, a manifold should be attached to the base. The manifold has a check valve built into it which will prevent the lubricant from dripping out of the reservoir or tank. If the system has a remote-located manifold, make sure there is hose or tubing connected from the bottom of the reservoir or tank to the remote manifold.

2.3.1Filling Oil Reservoirs and Tanks. Reservoirs and tanks for oil have a fill cup mounted on top. Wipe the area around the fill cup to avoid contamination during filling. Open the fill cup cap and slowly pour the oil into the fill cup. A strainer attached to the fill cup will remove large particles which may be present in the oil. When filling is complete, close fillcup cap and wipe any spillage.

2.3.2Filling Grease Reservoirs.

WARNING

If a high-pressure, high-volume supply pump is used to fill grease reservoirs, excess pressure may not be completely released by the bleed hole in the reservoir wall. This could cause the reservoir to fracture, exposing personnel to flying particles and lubricant. Safety glasses must be worn during filling operations and the supply pump must be turned off and disconnected when filling is complete.

2.3.2.1 Filling of grease reservoirs requires that an external supply source be connected to the fill stud located in the base of the reservoir. To avoid introducing air into the system, make sure there is enough grease in the supply source to fill

the reservoir without being disconnected. Operate the supply source at a steady speed to allow air-free filling of the reservoir. Too fast of a fill speed may result in air pockets. The level of grease is checked by visual means. In reservoirs with plastic cylinders, the grease level may be seen through the cylinder. Reservoirs with metal cylinders have a levelindicator rod mounted on the cap which will indicate when the fill is complete.

NOTE

Excess lube forced into the reservoir after it has reached full level will be vented from a bleed hole in the reservoir tube. (See Warning above.)

2.3.2.2 When filling is complete, turn off the supply source and disconnect it from the fill stud. A check valve in the fill stud will prevent lubricant from being forced back out. A plastic dust cap is attached to the fill stud and should be installed over the fill stud to keep dirt from entering the system.

NOTE

For first time grease filling, or if the grease reservoir has been allowed to go empty, open the petcock in the bottom right side of the reservoir. Slowly begin to fill the reservoir, allowing air trapped under follower to exhaust out the open petcock. When grease free of air flows from the petcock, close petcock and continue to fill the reservoir until follower is at vent hole in reservoir tube (any remaining air and small amount of grease will exit vent).

Loosen system mainline connection at pump outlet. Operate pump until lubricant free of air flows from outlet port. Tighten mainline connection at pump. Pump is now free of air.

Note, for extreme cases where the pump will not take a prime, it may be helpful to inject serveral

ounces of heavy oil through the grease fill quick disconnect. The pump will then prime on oil pulling the grease behind it. If it becomes necessary to use this method, all injected oil should be discharged at the loosened system supply connection along with any air.

Refer to bulletin 12411 (Portable Filler-Pak) for manual operated fill pump.

2.4GREASE RESERVOIR MAINTENANCE (OPTIONS GP1 THROUGH GP5 AND GM1 THROUGH GM4)

2.4.1General. Maintenance tips, disassembly, and assembly procedures for grease reservoirs are discussed in Paragraphs 2.4.2, 2.4.3 and 2.4.4. An exploded view of a typical grease reservoir is shown in Figure 2-1 and should be referred to during the discussion.

2.4.2Grease Reservoir Maintenance.

2.4.2.1 Maintenance on the grease reservoir consists of the steps described below:

a. Visually inspect the reservoir for lubricant leaking between reservoir tube (8, Figure 2-1) and base (10). This may indicate a bad gasket (9) or that the hex nuts (12) are not tight. Torque the nuts to 5 ft lbs. If the leakage continues, replace gasket (9). Check for cracks and nicks in tube (8). Replace the tube as required.

b. Visually inspect the reservoir tube (8) for dents which may restrict the movement of the follower cups (6 and 7). Replace the tube as required.

WARNING

Disconnect and lock out power before opening electrical enclosures or conduit connections. Serious injury may result from electrical shock.

2.4.3 Disassembly of Grease Reservoirs. Figure 2-1 shows a typical grease reservoir but does not include other Modu-Flo components which may be mounted to the reservoir. These components include the manifold, pump, level switches and high-pressure blowout switches. Disassembly of the reservoir may require that some of these components be removed. The manifold and pump do not normally require removal, but may be removed if desired. The level and blowout switches may or may not require removal, depending on the level of disassembly required. The electrical connections to the switches probably should be disconnected in order to remove various parts without restriction of movement by the electrical cord. The removal of these components is explained in other sections of the manual. Refer to the table of contents to find where the components are discussed.

2.4.3.1 The disassembly procedure may be performed with the reservoir mounted to the mounting surface. However, some mounting locations may be too restrictive to provide access to all components. If your particular installation requires dismounting of the reservoir, make sure the reservoir is drained of lubricant before removing the attaching hardware. This will reduce the weight of the reservoir and reduce

the chance of spillage. The disassembly procedure is as follows: WARNING

Do not attempt to remove retaining ring (2) or cable assembly (5) (Figure 2-1) (or retaining ring (25) or guide rod (5) for Option GP5). Injury could result from sudden expansion of spring

(4).

a. Slowly open petcock (11) and allow lubricant to be forced from the reservoir into a bucket or similar container. Remove fill stud (15) and petcock (11) if necessary. Properly dispose of emptied grease.

b. Remove hex nuts (12) and lockwashers (13) from tie rods (1). Remove tie rods (1) from cap (3).

c. Lift reservoir tube (8) from base (10) keeping reservoir cap (3) in position on top of the tube.

d. Slide reservoir tube (8) away from reservoir cap (3) until it is free of follower cup (7).

e. Remove gasket (9) from bottom of reservoir tube (8).

f. Further disassembly is only possible at the factory. If damage is apparent on the follower cups (6 and 7), cable assembly or guide rod (5), spring (4) or reservoir cap (3) the unit cannot be serviced and the reservoir assembly must be replaced.

2.4.4Assembly of Grease Reservoirs.

NOTE

Before assembly, lubricate followers and tube inner diameter with the lubricant which is used in the system.

2.4.4.1 Assemble the grease reservoir according to the following procedure:

a. Slide reservoir tube (8, Figure 2-1) over follower cup (7) being careful not to distort the follower cup lips. Slide reservoir tube (8) up until it contacts reservoir cap (3).

b. Install new gasket (9) on bottom of reservoir tube (8).

c. Place reservoir tube (8) with gasket (9) on base (10) and rotate reservoir cap (3) until holes in the cap line up with holes in the base (10).

d. Install tie rods (1) through holes in reservoir cap (3) and base (10).

e. Install lockwashers (13) and hex nuts (12) on tie rods (1) and torque to 5 ft lbs.

f. Install fill stud (15), dust cap (14) and petcock (11) in base. Make sure petcock (11) is in the closed position.

2.4.4.2 When the assembly steps listed in the above paragraph have been completed, any Modu-Flo components which were removed to ease disassembly should be reinstalled on the reservoir.

2.6OIL TANK MAINTENANCE (OPTIONS T1, T2 and T3)

2.6.1General. Maintenance tips, disassembly and assembly procedures for oil tanks are discussed in Paragraphs 2.6.2, 2.6.3 and 2.6.4. An exploded view of a typical oil tank is shown in Figure 2-3 and should be referred to during the discussion.

2.6.2Oil Tank Maintenance.

2.6.2.1 Maintenance on the oil tanks consists of the following:

a. Visually check for oil leakage between the tank (9, Figure 2-3), the pump mounting pad (12) and the level sight glass (11). Leakage in either of these areas indicates the components are loose or that gasket (10) or o-ring (13) is defective. The cover (1) will need to be removed to either tighten the components or replace defective seals.

b. Visually check fill screen (4) to make sure it is not clogged. If necessary, remove the screen for cleaning.

c. Check that the tank is securely fastened to the wall or supporting structures. Securely tighten any loose attaching hardware.

WARNING

Disconnect and lock out power before opening electrical enclosures or conduit connections. Serious injury may result from electrical shock.

2.6.3 Disassembly of Oil Tanks. Figure 2-3 shows a typical oil tank but does not include other Modu-Flo components which may be mounted to the tank. These components include the manifold, pump, level switches and blowout switches. Disassembly of tank may require that some of these components be removed. The manifold and pump do not normally require removal, but may be removed if desired. The level and blowout switches may or may not require removal, depending on the level of disassembly required. The electrical connections to the switches should be disconnected in order to remove various parts without restriction of movement by the electrical cord. The removal of these components is explained in other sections of the manual. Refer to the table of contents to find where these components are discussed.

2.6.3.1 The disassembly procedure may be performed with the tank mounted to the mounting surface. However, some mounting locations may be too restrictive to provide access to all components. If your particular installation requires dismounting of the tank, make sure the tank is drained of lubricant before removing the attaching hardware. This will reduce the weight of the tank and reduce the chance of spillage. The disassembly procedure is as follows:

a. Remove pipe plug (3, Figure 2-3) from base of tank weldment (9) and allow oil to drain into bucket or similar container. Properly dispose of emptied oil.

b. Remove self-threading screws (2) attaching cover (1) to tank weldment (9) and remove cover and cover gasket

(6).

c. Remove fill screen (4) from fill cup (5) and clean screen.

d. Remove two screws (7) and aluminum gaskets (8) to release pump mounting pad (12) from tank weldment

(9). Remove and discard o-ring (13) from pump mounting pad (12).

NOTE

Step e should be performed only if the sight glass is dirty or leaking. Threads cut on nylon studs of sight glass may prevent the sight glass from being used.

e. Remove four self-threading nuts (14) and remove sight glass (11) and gasket (10). Discard gasket (10) and sight glass (11).

2.6.4Assembly of Oil Tanks.

NOTE

Before assembly, lubricate all o-rings with the lubricant which is used in the system.

2.6.4.1 Assemble the oil tanks according to the following procedure:

a.

b.

c.

d. e.

f.

2.6.4.2 When the assembly steps listed in the above paragraph have been completed, any Modu-Flo components which were removed to ease disassembly should be reinstalled on the tank.
