Stop Grease Gun Disasters

Slowly pump grease into bearings over a period of three to five seconds per normal shot of grease (0.1 ounce or 2.8 grams). Increase or decrease time to adjust for larger or smaller volume output per shot. Using a quick lever action could blow out seals and may not allow the grease to distribute correctly within the bearing. If the application is high risk, consider installing shut-off type grease fittings that prevent overpressurization during greasing.

|
From "Integrated Reliability: Condition Monitoring and Maintenance of Equipment":
Industry sustainability, global competition, and the need to maximize equipment and lifetime reliability require the integration of reliability condition monitoring (CM) and maintenance precision practices. This practice will allow fewer personnel to work fewer hours viably as well as to operate and maintain more equipment at minimum cost while also offering higher efficiency, higher availability, higher quality and higher profits with capital equipment.
