Automatic Lubricator: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 11:47, 11 March 2025

Some vehicles come equipped with an automatic lubricator. This is a small device which contains a meter, usually on the right side, which represents the oil level of the drivetrain bearings that the automatic lubricator is servicing.

When the vehicle is in motion, it will consume that oil. However, the automatic lubricator will automatically replenish it from the onboard storage, shown on the left meter.

If the vehicle has been parked and its bearings’ oil level is not full, it must be manually primed by turning the crank until full, before the vehicle is set in motion.
