Purge Grease Fittings Before Installing

Purge all new grease fittings with a grease gun before they are installed on your machine. Use the same type of grease that will be used later for regreasing. This practice will remove any dust, burrs or other debris that has collected inside the grease fitting. It will also reduce the risk of cross-contamination between different grease products. (Randy Norton, Tucson Electric Power Co.)
