Does the 5 pro come pre lubricated?

Just got my 4x2 5 Pro. Its not assembly yet but I have started the inventory and reading through the manual. In the “open first” box I noticed a bag with oil and pipets enclosed. After looking at the maintenance information online, do the rails and ballscrew nuts come pre lubricated or should I do this after assembly?

I don’t see any mention of lubrication in the final assembly section of the manual 7.3 “Tidy Up” so I’m assuming it is pre lubricated but would like to make sure. Don’t want to run it dry but also don’t want to over lubricate and have oil dripping out and possibly spoiling a wood project once I’m up and running. Thanks for any heads up.

It should be lubricated. The oil is for maintenance, see:

That’s what I suspected. Thanks for confirming.
