Abstract

See full text

A lubrication system for a utility vehicle with a lubricating unit having a lubricant reservoir, a pump, and a distributor attached thereto to which supply lines to a plurality of lubrication points can be attached, and comprising a control module having at least two lubrication programs stored therein, wherein the pump initiates an ejection of grease in a cycle predetermined by the respective lubrication program. The object of the invention is to improve upon a lubrication system such that a change between lubrication programs and optionally the execution of an intermediate lubrication using an automatic lubrication system is possible during driving operations independent of the presence of a higher level on-board electronics system. The object is accomplished in that the lubricating unit is connected directly to an input and display device disposed in the vehicle or at other accessible places on the vehicle, the input and display device used to switch between lubrication programs and to initiate an intermediate lubrication.
