INTRODUCTION
The NPK AUTO LUBE System is designed to automatically provide a supply of grease
to the hammer tool bushing - increasing tool bushing life by reducing tool bushing wear.
Due to its compact design, it can be mounted directly to the hammer.
The AUTO LUBE system utilizes a hydraulic motor-driven high pressure pump capable
of pushing low viscosity EP2 grease in cold weather. The pump is activated via by-pass
hose lines from the hammers pressure and return lines, to run whenever the hammer is
operated.
The NPK AUTO LUBE system is comprised of the grease pump assembly, adapter
fittings and hoses at the pump, hammer and hammer top bracket. The grease line
length varies according to the NPK hammer size. Use 1/4” maximum I.D. line, 5000 psi
minimum working pressure with 6 JIC hose ends for the grease line from the pump to
the hammer.
For help with any installation problem, or for additional information, call the NPK Service
Department at 1-800-225-4379.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The G015 hydraulically actuated grease pump is used to lubricate the 500 to 2000 ft. lb.
class NPK hydraulic hammers. Due to its compact design, it can be mounted directly to
the hammer bracket.
The NPK hammer mounted auto lube system is connected to the hydraulic system of
the carrier unit via the pressure line (6) of the hammer to port POIL (126) of the lube
pump housing (a59).
The hydraulic oil is routed via a filter/diaphragm (a57) to the hydraulic motor (a58),
which ensures continuous drive. The hydraulic oil is returned to the circuit via the
hammer return line (5), or port ROIL (127) on the lube pump housing.
-8-
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The hydraulic motor (a58) drives a worm shaft (a55), which turns a gear/eccentric unit
(a26). As the gear/eccentric unit revolves, it strokes the delivery plunger (a27), which is
part of the pumping element (a11). The stroking of the delivery plunger creates suction
and delivery of the lubricant.
NOTE: This grease fitting is not used to fill the grease cartridge.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The G025 hydraulically actuated grease pump is used to lubricate the 2,500 to 15,000
ft. lb. class NPK hydraulic hammers. Due to its compact design, it can be mounted
directly to the hammer upper support block.
The NPK hammer mounted auto lube system is connected to the hydraulic system of
the carrier unit via the pressure line (6) of the hammer to port POIL (126) of the lube
pump housing (a59).
The hydraulic oil is routed via a filter/diaphragm (a57) to the hydraulic motor (a58),
which ensures continuous drive. The hydraulic oil is returned to the circuit via the
hammer return line (5), or port ROIL (127) on the lube pump housing.

- 11 -
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
To make sure the pump unit is functioning, the unit has a visible eccentric shaft (a56)
which rotates during operation.
In the case of wear of the pumping element (grease pump cartridge), the grease comes
out of the lateral relief hole (156).
If there is failure of the hydraulic system or the Auto Lube pump, a grease fitting (30) is
integrated into the unit for manual greasing.
NOTE: This grease fitting is not used to fill the grease cartridge.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
G015
The pressure line (6) to the hammer is connected to the pressure port P OIL (126) of the
NPK Auto Lube pump via a tap in connection on the hammer top bracket. The oil is
then routed through a filter (a60) with an orifice (a61) to the hydraulic motor (a58), which
ensures continuous drive. The hydraulic oil is returned to the hydraulic circuit via the
return port ROIL (127) then to a tap in connection on the hammer return line (5) at the
hammer top bracket.
The hydraulic motor drives a worm shaft, which transmits the revolutions of the motor to
the eccentric shaft. As the eccentric shaft revolves, it strokes the delivery plunger which
is part of the pumping element (a11). The stroking of the delivery plunger creates
suction and delivery of the lubricant. An integrated check valve (k3) prevents the
lubricant from being fed back into the grease pump cartridge. Through the grease port
(18), the lubricant is sent to the hammer (KK). Grease cartridges (a54) are used as a
storage reservoir for the lubricant. A discharge opening (157) in the main housing for
the lubricant, is opposite the cartridge holder.

BEFORE START-UP
AUTO LUBE GREASE LINE PRE-FILLING
It is mandatory that the supply line from the Auto Lube main pump to the connection on
the hammer is primed with grease before it is used. Failure to do this will result in no
grease being administered to the hammer tool for a period of time. This can and will
result in severe galling of the tool and tool bushing.
PRIMING THE GREASE LINE
- 38 -
BEFORE START-UP
PRIMING THE GREASE LINE
NOTE: If the Auto Lube has run out of grease, the above procedure should be used to
purge all the air out of the line (29) before using the hammer. Failure to do this
will result in an intermittent supply of grease to the hammer.
- 39 -
UNDERWATER USE
1. Underwater use is acceptable but caution should be given as not to damage the unit
by striking it blindly below water level.
2. Caution should be given as not to allow water to get into the pump assembly when

THROTTLE ADJUSTMENT
ADJUSTMENT OF FLOW TO THE HYDRAULIC MOTOR
To adjust the hydraulic motor’s flow rate, you must first depressurize the hydraulic
system. You will then need to remove the plug (AS) and the flat seal (a65) covering the
throttle (a5). You can then adjust the throttle using a slotted screwdriver (t22). By
turning the throttle counterclockwise, you will increase the flow rate to the hydraulic
motor, thus increasing the lubricant flow rate. Before starting the unit, re-install the plug
and flat seal.
Use the visible eccentric shaft (a56) to check for proper working order. The number of
revolutions of the eccentric shaft or the number of strokes of the delivery plunger
enables you to calculate the precise delivery rate.
