4.5 Operation of air-driven grease pumps LAGG 18AE, LAGG 50AE
and LAGG 180AE
For LAGG 18AE only
1.
Assemble the trolley and put the grease
drum on the base. The trolley can be
used for a 50 kg drum.

Connect the trolley bar members
around the square trolley rod and the
piston rod.

to the grease pump.

Check that all of the connections
are attached securely.

damaged. Replace any damaged
hoses immediately.
4.
Connect the air inlet hose to the quick-
connection nipple on the grease pump.
Ensure that the inlet air pressure does
not exceed 8 bar (120 psi). Installation
of an air pressure regulator on the air
inlet is recommended to increase the
working life of the grease pump
mechanism. The grease pump must be
connected to a clean and dry air supply.
An unfiltered air supply can cause the
pump to stall or stop.

grease is discharged from the outlet.
All of the air has now been removed
and the grease pump is ready for use.
