Precautions with Grease
Grease nipples and the grease gun should be carefully cleaned before use to prevent dirt being forced into the bearings.
Dirty grease should be forced from the bushes and disposed of safely.
Greases should not be mixed as the structure may be weakened by the mixing of different types of thickener, which may cause softening and loss of grease from the bearings by running out.
