WARNING
Single Point Lubrication Multi Point Lubrication Using Progressive Divider Block
Remote multi point lubrication is available with the Pulsarlube M500 using a divider
block. It is recommended to test the back pressure of the bearing, lube lines, and
divider block after assembly using a grease gun connected to a pressure gauge.
Ensure the break-off pressure is below the average operating pressure of 30kgf/cm²
(425psi).
