Flexible Shaft Lubricator
The Flexible Shaft Lubricator lubricates flexible shafts, giving the operator maximum useful life. They are also used to lubricate before storage. The lubricator is filled with a water-soluble lubricant that enters and lubricates the internal workings of the shaft. This is achieved by providing an air supply to the unit. The residue lubricant is washed out with water when the shaft is used again.
So it is advisable to order the correct shaft repair kits which can include all that is needed to keep you up and running.
