 1. INTRODUCTION

This user and maintenance manual relates to the Sumo pump. Using this pump means t hat oils and greases can be
distributed within lubrication systems even at high pressures of up to 400 bar (5880 psi).
The latest version may be obtained from the Technical-Commercial Office, or by consulting our web site
http://www.dropsa.com.

The pump subject of this manual must be used by qualified personnel with basic hydraulic and electrical knowledge.
This user and maintenance manual contains important information about protecting the health and safety of the
personnel who intend to use this apparatus. You must read and look after it carefully, making sure that it is available
at all times for the operators who intend to consult it.

2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Sumo series of lubrication pumps may be adapted to many uses without making any mechanical changes even
after it has been installed. In fact, by making a selection from a set of components which are fully compatible and
easy to assemble, the pressure, quantity of lubricant delivered, actual type of lubricant or type of distribution can be
altered.
This construction technique is essentially based on the following modules:
· Electric motor
· Pump body with integrated reducer
· Two pumping elements
· Reservoir
· Valves and outlet unit (inverter, pressure adjustment valve, etc.).

There is only one bearing structure for all versions, with the dual pumping element constituting the essential module.
The pump unit possesses one single output, because the deliveries from the two pumping elements flow into a
manifold unit.
Two types of tank for grease and two for oil with different volumes (of 30 or 100 kg) with stirring paddle and level
indicators can be arranged on the pump body.
The pump is controlled by normal electrical apparatus which is able to effect inversion and perform the programmed
cycles.
The Sumo electric pump is fully protected against the external environment and can operate without difficulty under
the most severe environmental conditions.

5. PUMP COMPONENTS

5.1 FIXED DELIVERY PUMPING ELEMENTS

The pump has two fixed delivery standard pumping elements (200 cm^3/ min for each pumping element). A piston
slides inside the body of the pumping element coupled to the latter by a lapping process. The seal between the
piston and the pumping body is of a dry type, with no gasket provided between the two. The pumping element
retention valve is of the tapered seal type. This solution is able to guarantee an optimum seal for the system at high
operating pressures (max. pressure of 400 bar). The pumping elements are assembled on the manifold unit with a
threaded attachment, which facilitates its assembly/ dismantling.

5.2 ENDLESS SCREW / WORM WHEEL UNIT

The pump has endless screw-worm wheel working kinematics with a transmission ratio of 1/40. The screw is made
from special steel with high mechanical resistance, which gives it optimum flexible rigidity. To guarantee high
resistance to wear, the screw has been subjected to Tenifer wear-resistant treatment. The screw is supported by
oblique contact ball bearings, duly preloaded, to reduce working clearance. The worm wheel is made of bronze alloy
for gear systems, particularly suitable for making the pump run quietly. The worm wheel shaft is made of special high
resistance steel which gives the pump better reliability and durability.

GENERAL NOTE FOR ALL INVERTERS: It is advisable to plan a delay in the de-energizing of the
electromagnets from 2 - 5 sec. to allow complete inversion in relation to the closing time of the
pressure gauge at the end of the line.

5.3.1 Interchangeable electromagnetic inverter (code 0083420 mounted on standard pump)

The standard pump is prepared for dual line function, with an electromagnetically controlled inverter being
assembled as standard. The inverter can be replaced if it is not working efficiently, without disconnecting the two line
pipes (of an interchangeable type). This is able to reduce maintenance times and the relating installation shutdown.

Photo 3
This version means that the inverter can be replaced
without disconnecting the line pipes. A solution of this
type offers the following advantages:

· Ease of assembly and dismantling (only the 4 front

Allen screws need to be loosened and tightened);

· Short replacement time;

· Minimum installation shutdown time.

5.3.2 Electromagnetic inverter (code 0083400 option)

Photo 4
The main parts of the inverter are:

· A body with a central lapping hole which allows

the dry seal to be coupled to the inversion piston;
· a ground piston with a dual coupling surface, with
openings which are able to improve lubrication
and seal at high pressures;
· the inversion phase is facilitated by the presence
of a balancing system;
· by seal gaskets manufactured to sustain high
pressures, via a pressure chamber, optimising
the inverter operations;
· two control electromagnets equipped with a
thermal probe with an intervention temperature of
100°C (protecting the coils from overheating).

5.4 PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE MOUNTED ON THE PUMP

Photo 6
Pump group unit
Bypass pressure
adjustment nut
The pump has a pressure control valve, mounted
on the manifold unit on the right side of the pumping Ch 34
elements. The valve can be easily dismantled for
inspection if required. It is calibrated by turning the
bypass pressure adjustment nut:
· clockwise (increase of pressure)
· anticlockwise (decrease of pressure)

Once the bypass has been calibrated, the position

of the pressure adjustment nut is locked using a
lock nut. It is important to bear in mind that line
inversion is controlled by closing the contacts of the
pressure switch. Adjusting the pressure switch
provides an operating pressure which is lower than
the maximum pressure controlled by this valve.

5.6 ADJUSTMENT OF PUMPING ELEMENT DELIVERY.

Delivery is adjusted by unscrewing (reducing delivery) or tightening (increasing delivery) the internal pumping
element: each complete turn corresponds to an 11.5% change in delivery. There are two references on the fixed and
mobile pumping element bodies (Photo 8) which allow identification of rotation at every ¼ turn (90°). The internal
pumping element possesses a threaded adjustment of M36x2: each complete turn corresponds to an adjustment of
the pumping element’s stroke of 2 mm. We use the reference height obtained with calibration, between the exterior
of the fixed pumping element and the exterior of the internal pumping element (height X). We use Y to indicate the
actual displacement of the internal pumping element (Y=13-X).

5.7 MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM GREASE LEVEL INDICATORS

Standard grease pump s have two types of level:

· Minimum capacitive level;

· Maximum visual level (float).

Code Description
0295100 Maximum visual level kit (float).
0295120 Minimum capacitive level kit per tank kg 30 (68.1 lb.)
0295110 Minimum capacitive level kit per tank kg 100 (100.02 kg.)
3289166 Capacitive probe

5.7.1 Minimum capacitive level

The minimum level is produced by a capacitive probe, positioned on the end of a pipe mounted on the tank cover.
The capacitive probe is normally closed. When it reaches the minimum level the probe indicates a lack of lubricant.
To make the solution valid for NLGI2 grease as well, the capacitive probe interfaces with the scraper whose function
is to clean the lower face of the grease probe. If the capacitive probe is replaced then it must be recalibrated (see
calibration procedure).
The minimum level contact is indicated by a light signal on the control panel. In addition it controls any command for
the pump to aut omatically refill the tank.

5.7.2. Maximum visual level (floating)

The phase for loading the lubricant into the tank is carried out by the operator, with an appropriate pump. Once the
maximum level of lubricant has been reached, the small rod which indicates that the tank is full intervenes.

5.8 INDICATORS OF MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM OIL LEVEL.

Standard oil pumps have two types of level:

· Minimum and maximum level float;

· Maximum visual level (float).

Code Description
0295100 Maximum visual level kit (float).
0295033 Maximum visual level float
0295150 Level float kit for 30 kg tanks (68.1 lb.) (minimum and maximum level)
0295160 Level float kit for 100 kg tanks (68.1 lb.) (minimum and maximum level)

5.8.1 Minimum and maximu m level float

A probe rod with dual float mounted on t he pump cover provides a reading of the minimum oil level (reserve) and the
maximum level (which allows the automatic refilling of the tank to be halted).
The minimum level contact is indicated by a light signal on the control panel. In addition it controls any command for
the pump to aut omatically refill the tank.

5.8.2. Maximum visual level (floating)

See point 5.7.2.

5.7 Stirring paddle for grease and oi l (standard performance)

Four tanks are provided with a capacity of 30 and 100 kg. (22 – 66.1 – 220.4 lb) two for oil and two for grease.
The tanks have a stirring paddle and scraper as standard, and they must not be dismantled when they are being
assembled and replaced. Under the stirring paddle a galvanized steel mesh with 0.5 mm holes (0.02 in.) is provided
as standard. In this way the pump is protected from any foreign bodies which might be inadvertently present during
the tank refilling process.

12/ 31
5.8 PRESSURE GAUGE

The pressure gauge is of the glycerin filled type, so it is protected from any pressure leaks which might damage its
functioning. It is mounted directly in the manifold group (positioned on the front of the pump).

6. UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION

WARNING: The unit is only to be opened and repaired by specialist personnel.

No pump assembly operations are envisaged. The pump is fixed on a metal pallet, which allows safe handling using
a transpallet or forklift truck. This pallet has been designed so that it can be installed in the installation, being
equipped with 4 (four) holes of Ø 14 mm suitable for fixing to the floor. Provide adequate space (as shown on the
installation diagram) to avoi d abnormal posture or possible impact. Then, as described previously, the pump must be
connected hydraulically to the machine and then connected to the control panel.

consequently fatal danger:

· Check the integrity of the supply cable and the unit prior to use;
· If the supply cable or the unit is damaged, do not start up the syst em!
· Replace the damaged supply cable with a new one;
· The unit can be opened and repai red only by specialist personnel;
· In order to prevent the danger of electrocution due to direct or indirect contact with live parts the electric supply
line must be adequately protected by an appropriate magnetothermal differential switch with threshold of
intervention of 0.03 ampere and max intervention time of 1 second;
· The interruption power of the switch must be £ 10 kA and rated current In = 6 A.
· The pump must not be used when submerged in fluids or in a particularly aggressive or explosive/inflammable
atmosphere unless prepared in advance for this purpose by the supplier;
· to fix the pump correctly check the pitch dimensions shown in the figures in chapter 12;
· Use safety gloves and goggles as indicated in the safety sheet for the lubrication oil;
· Do NOT use lubricants which are aggressive towards NBR gaskets, and if in doubt consult the Dropsa SpA
technical office which will supply a detailed list of the recommended oils;
· Do not ignore dangers to health and comply with health and safety regulations;
· Warning! All the electric components must be earthed. This applies to both the electric components, and to the
control devices. To this end make sure that the earth wire is connected correctly. For safety reasons the earth
conductor must be approximately 100 mm longer than the phase conductors. If the cable is accidentally
removed, the earth terminal must be the last one to be removed.

7.2 ACTION TO BE TAKEN BEFORE START-UP.

· Check the integrity of the pump.

· Refill the tank with suitable lubricant.
· Check that the pump is at working temperature and that there are no air bubbles in the pipes.
· Check that the electric connection has been carried out correctly.

7.3 USE.

· check the data sets imposed.

· press the start button on the machine to which the Sumo pump is connected.
· check pump start-up.
· check that the machine is adequately lubricated (if there are still some doubts about its correct functioning you
can contact the Dropsa S.p.A Technical Office and request a test procedure).
· check that the direction of rotation of the electric motor is the one indicated by the indicator arrow, positioned on
the protective housing of the motor fan;
· check that the hydraulic connection is correct.

7.4 ADJUSTMENT/ CALIBRATION OF LEVEL PROBES

7.4.1 Pressu re

It is possible to adjust working pressure by rotating the bypass screw clockwise to increase pressure or anticlockwise
to reduce pressure. During this operation pay attention to the pressure gauge positioned on the edge of the pump.

14/ 31
7.4.2 Pro cedure for calibrating the capacitive probe

Before being assembled the capacitive probe must be calibrated in accordance with the following sequence:
1. connect the sensor electrically;
2. immerse the sensor in the lubricant, down to half of its length;
3. remove the sensor from the lubricant until it skims the surface of the lubricant;
4. at this point there can be two possible types of operation:
· the sensor status does not change: its sensitivity must be reduced (by acting on the screws for adjusting
sensor sensitivity) until its state of excitation is reached
· if its status changes, the sensor already possesses the correct sensitivity
5. after checking that the sensor has been correctly read, the sensor reading must be repeated at least three times
6. Tighten the capacitive probe on the probe carrier rod, complying with the following assembly height:
· 450 mm (from below the cover up to the lower surface of the sensor) for a 30 kg tank
· 900 mm (from below the cover up to the lower surface of the sensor) for a 100 kg tank

Use the individu al protective devices needed to avoid contact with mineral oil or grease.

Regular inspection
The following regular checks must be carried out:

Check
the lubrication status 1000 hours
Cleanliness of the loading and suction filter 4000 hours

The machine does not require any special equipment for any checking and/or maintenance activity, however the
recommendation is to use suitable equipment which is in a good condition in order to avoid causing damage to
persons or machine parts (according to current regulation).
If necessary clean the tank paying due attention (when the machine is off and without it being possible to restart it).
Remember to reseal the tank once the operation has been completed.

Make sure that the electric and hydraulic supply has been disconnected before carrying out any
maintenance intervention.

10. DISPOSAL

In the course of machine maintenance, or if the machine is scrapped, do not dispose of polluting parts into the
environment. Refer to local regulations with regard to their correct disposal. When scrapping the machine the
identification plate and any other documents must be destroyed.

13. HANDLING AND TRANSPORT

A metal pallet is used for transport and storage with packing at the side and a wooden cover.
The pump is fixed on a metal pallet, which allows safe handling using a transpallet or forklift truck. The metal pallet
has been designed so that it can be installed in the installation, being equipped with 4 (four) holes of Ø 14 mm
suitable for fixing to the floor.
The machine components can withstand temperatures, during storage, fr om -20 to + 50 °C (-4°F - 122°F); it is
therefore necessary, in order to avoid damages, for the machine to be started up w hen the machine has reached a
minimum temperature of +5 °C (+41°F).

14. PRECAUTIONS FOR USE

It is necessary to carefully read the warnings and risks associated with using a lubricant pump. The operator must
understand how it works and must clearly understand the dangers by studying the user manual.

27/ 31
15. CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR USE

The check on compliance with the essential safety requirements and with the stipulations indicated in the machine
directives are to be carried out by means of compiling the checklists already made available and contained in the
technical file.
Three types of lists were used:

· list of dangers (section from EN 414 relating to EN 292)

· Application of the essential safety requirements Machine Dir. - app. 1, part 1)
· electrical safety stipulations (EN 60204-1)

See below a list of dangers which have not been completely eliminated, but are considered acceptable:

· During assembly/maintenance it is possible that there may be an oil splash (consequently this operation must be
carried out using appropriate individual protective devices);
· contact with oil -> see instructions for using appropriate individual protective devices DPI;
· Use of an inappropriate lubricant -> fluid characteristics indicated both on the pump and in the manual (if in
doubt consult our Technical Office);
· protection against direct and indirect contact must be provided by the user;
· whenever the cover is opened for an intervention resealing the catch is essential;
· The pump’s working logic requires it to operate at all times, so it is necessary to pay attention to the electric
connection. If there is no current the customer’s machine can only be restarted following a reset while the
lubrication pump can restart automatically.

Unacceptabl e fluids
Fluids Dangers
Lubricant with abrasive additives High consumption of contaminated parts
Lubricant with silicon additives Jamming of the pump
Benzine – solvents – inflammable liquids Fire – explosion – damage to gaskets
Corrosive products Corrosion of the pump – injuries to persons
Water Pump oxidation
Food substances Contamination of these substances
