Delivery Chain Lube Cycles

[Pressmanscooter]

My 40" Speedmaster's extended delivery is pumping way too much chain lube. I heard there is a way to change the cycle for this... Anybody know how?

Thanks

I don't know offhand about the adjustment,but the speedmaster I used to run pumped a fair amout of grease,up to the point where it would drip off the chains up in the delivery.
The only thing I could think of offhand is are you using the correct lube? The monkey snot grease that we use is very thick,I imagine if you were using an aftermarket supplier,that a thinner grease would sling even more.
I know on our CP tronics screen it was set to pump at a preset amount of revolutions,I don't know if that can be changed or not.

We're using Heidelberg chain lube. Also the lube cycle for the chain is displayed in the lubrication screen on CPC, but not adjustable. I have heard that there is a way to do this, but its not as simple as adjusting the the other cycles. Anybody know what that is?

hi there,

om my speedmaster 74 theres a stop tap which can be opened or closed on both sides to reduce the flow, probably not relevent for you though.

There is a Way to change the Cycles, We had a Person from Heiderlberg change ours, It is done under the Console where the electronics are. Not really sure how it is done, And they will not show you.

This was my understanding as well, I was wondering if anybody knew what the "trick" is.

On a man roland the delivery greasing is also set under main console by what looks like a timer mechanism. Was located near other similar timers for different functions of the press,trick 4 us was knowing which was which.timers looked obvious numbered face with adjustment hands.good luck

I know the "trick" on machines with cp2000.
Is posible too on machines with cptronic but is more complicated.
tell me your machine type and write me [email protected]
my best.
