Q&A
Chisel paste 

How much chisel paste should be used in a shift?

The answer to how much chisel paste is used in a shift is highly dependent
on application and frequency of use. For example, in a high production, bulk
excavation application, it is not uncommon for 2 or 3 grease cartridges per
shift to be consumed.

On average we find that customer running the ContiLube II Automatic
Greasing system will check the cartridge level at the beginning of each shift.
They replace the cartridge as it gets near empty. This helps ensure that no air
locks are created by running the cartridges empty.
