Abstract: A method and apparatus for checking the integrity of an autolubrication system for large trucks, busses and the like includes an autolubrication system which includes a pump in communication with a plurality of conduits for forcing lubricants through the conduits under pressure. Preferably the conduits are subdivided into main conduits which are formed of steel, manifolds which receive the lubricants from the main conduits, and a plurality of at least partially flexible runner lines extending from the manifolds to lubrication receiving points. In accordance with one aspect of the method and apparatus, the pump can be activated from a remote location so as to enable the user to feel the runner lines with his or her hands immediately following actuation of the pump to ensure that a discharge pulse can be felt, thereby indicating that lubricant is properly passing through the other line.
