Zusammenfassung:A liquid dispensing system is disclosed for providing machinery with liquid. The system comprises a liquid receptacle for holding liquid to be dispensed by the system, a nozzle, a fluid communication path for transporting fluid from the liquid receptacle to the nozzle, and a liquid pump for urging liquid to flow from the liquid receptacle through the fluid communication path to the nozzle. The system also comprises a robot assembly arranged to controllably move the nozzle from a stowed position wherein the nozzle is relatively adjacently disposed relative to the liquid receptacle to a deployed position wherein the nozzle is relatively remotely disposed relative to the liquid receptacle. The system also comprises a nozzle alignment system arranged to facilitate manual alignment by a user of the nozzle relative to a receiving connection of the machinery requiring liquid when the nozzle is disposed in the deployed position.
