Baler chain oiler

[DrDunc]

Help please!

I can't get the chain oiler on my Krone comprima to work

There's no blockages, the filters are clean, and the brushes have been renewed

When you take the grub screw out of the manifold block on the right hand side, how much oil should be pulsing out? On mine it's just visible that's it's there, no air, but definitely not enough to lubricate the 8 pipes.

Do I need to replace the pump????

Look very closely at the suction area in to the pump. Remove feed pipe and blow into the pump feed area that area with compressed air as there will be dirt packed in there.

No experience with the Krone lube system but if it’s anything like the Deere system (piston pump running off a cam) the pumps do fail.
As @kill says, check the inlet, also have you got the right oil in it? If it’s to thick it won’t be able to push it through the system.

I'm sure you will have, but have you checked the pipe at the bottom of the container that holds oil?

Its normally it that blocks on McHale chain oilers.

It will be full of dirt, clean out and blow all pipes including the thin ones and check the fittings that they go on to on the distribution bank as there's a fine mesh on each one with a air line, and a squirt of wd40 or equivalent down them, then refill with hydraulic oil to get oil moving though the pipes
