Auto Lube Has stopped working

Post by Thom Davies »

Hi All

The bottom Auto lube has stopped dripping, the top 1 is fine, there is air in the container where the lube is as its bubbling away. but no matter what there is no drips coming out the top.

Could it be blocked? if so how do i clean it or has it just failed and i need a new 1?

This is quite major as its stopped lubing the ball screw.

Cheers for the help

Hellol mate

i would personally keep lubing the ball screw manually both sides untill the issue is fixed as this can avoid unwanted ball screw & bearing issues in near future
