Abstract
A method and apparatus automatically feeds lubricating oil to machine parts using a microcomputer. According to the method and apparatus, the lubricating oil discharge time for each discharge mode is set and the operation of an electrochemical reactor is controlled in accordance with the set discharge mode under the control of the microcomputer. At the completion of the set discharge time, a discharge mode for a preset minimum period of discharge time, such as one month, is set to allow complete discharge of the remaining lubricating oil. The set discharge mode and the determined discharge time are displayed on a liquid crystal display for convenient viewing by a user.
