That looks like a standard Bijur system, what you should have is metering points at the end of each lube point, they look at first like a ordinary 1/8" fitting, but each point has them and I would recommend changing them at least every 5 to 6 yrs for a machine that is run constantly, the hex fitting has a FSA or CSA etc followed by an appature number 0,00,1,2, etc.
They have fine filters in them and usually it is not worth trying to blow them out or clean them. these systems BTW can attain pressures in excess of 20lbs.
Usually these lube systems are the most neglegted.
If you open one up and put it back, this point will get all the oil to the detrement of all the other points.
