Activator Screws into the topof the lubricator. Twist the eyeletuntil it shears off do not pushto the side.

Electrolyte* The electrolyte

is contained within the elasticbladder. The activation pelletreacts with the electrolyte toproduce gas which pressurisesthe bladder.

4. Mounting System Overview

Remote installed perma Futura

Always prime grease linesand pre-grease bearings.Minimise small diameterrestrictions and ensurethat the bearing will receive

grease freely.

Direct mount where safe to do so as thisprovides maximum pressure to the bearing.For remote mounting use lines which areno more than 1 meter long with an internaldiameter of at least 10mm (3/8). Smallerdiameter lines increase resistance to

grease flow.
