| Always ensure the correct lifting and carrying equipment is available. Avoid lowering a barrel onto any small, sharp objects. These objects can pierce the barrel and cause leakage, which if unnoticed, could pose a safety risk to the person moving the barrel as well as to other colleagues.

GET THE ANSWER
From “The Practical Handbook of Machinery Lubrication”:
Over-packing probably accounts for more bearing failures than any other single factor. If too much grease is present, internal friction will cause the temperature to rise beyond its dropping point, causing oxidation of the grease and premature bearing failure.
