6 Operation
euro-Maus4 is fitted with a central lubricating system and the variant with sieve
conveyor cleaner has two lubricating circuits. The other variant has an 8-set pinch roller
cleaner and three lubricating circuits.
One lubricating circuit supplies the pickup, a second the chassis and a third the
optionally present recleaner rollers with lubricating grease.
All lubricating points connected are automatically supplied with grease. The lubricating pump
supplies the grease to the main distributors. The main distributors distribute the grease to
the subdistributors and from there, the individual lubricating points are supplied. With every
switching on of the machine drive, the lubricating pump is switched on for the period of time
entered by the operator in the menu "Basic settings". As long as the lubricating pump is
running, a stirring blade rotates in the grease reservoir and the color terminal displays the
following icon . When this period of time has expired, the lubricating pump stops.
This period of time is set to 210 seconds by the factory. It may be extended by the driver
to up to 300 seconds.
When loading up to 20 tons per transport unit (e.g. a truck), we recommend the standard
lubricating period setting of 180 seconds (pump operating period). When loading
transport units of about 28 tons (a larger truck), we recommend a pump operating period
of about 210 seconds. In general, the larger the transport unit, the longer the pumpoperating
period.

In any case, make sure that there is always a sufficient grease supply in the grease
reservoir. In no case may the grease supply be used up so much that air ingresses the
line system!
