3.16 OPERATION OF THE LUBRICATION SYSTEM OPERATION 3.16 OPERATION OF THE LUBRICATION SYSTEM 3.16.1 CENTRAL LUBRICATION SYSTEM ”CLS” The central lubrication system works automatically as soon as the engines are running at high idle speed. The ECS System monitors the function of the central lubrication system. Trouble conditions of the lubrication system are indicated through fault messages on ECS display (3).
Legend for illustration Z 21762 (1) Switch, manual actuation of central lubrication sys- tem (2) Switch, manual actuation of swing ring gear lubrica- tion system (3) ECS display IManual actuation of the central lubrication system Manual actuation of the lubrication system overrides the adjusted pause time (factory setting 30 minutes). The lubrication cycle starts after a pressure build up time of 1 to 2 minutes. Thereafter the monitoring time of 10 minutes starts. The complete lubrication cycle takes approximately 12 minutes. After this period the lubri- cation cycle counter adds one lubrication cycle to the memory.
For display of the cycle counter reading use the menu control of the ECS system. REMARK The start of a manually actuated lubrication cycle can be delayed by up to 10 minutes if the system is in the monitoring time period of a previous automatic lubrication cycle. If the central lubrication system fails to work for a period of four hours automatic bucket motion cut off can happen depending on the installed ECS soft ware. Repair the system as soon as possible. 244 CAUTION
