I've been pretty meticulous about greasing it on the clock hour so far, although it's kinda nasty when the beast is as new and pretty as mine to see all those joints weeping like a snotty nose.

I'll err on the safe side and squelch the stuff about often and liberally and not worry about cosmetics. In any case, we're entering the season in the Pacific North West when I'll have a drip at the end of my own nose often enough.

Thanks for all the sound advice and the smiles.

Between 10 and 20 hours, regardless of use...that's what I do. It's only a 15-20 minute operation.

Grease has an affinity for and will cling tenatiously to any and all areas of clothing or skin till one gets inside one's domicle. It then switches affinity to any and all types of furniture,clothing and flooring! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Using a set parameter such as even hours on the meter or fuel usage makes it easy to keep track of the greasing schedule.

When I am busy (6+ hrs per day of heavy work) greasing is part of the daily warmup cycle.

When things are slack, then roughly by the clock depending on what is used.

Has anyone else noticed that some of the zerks are clogged with paint? It seems like someone just painted over the whole thing, zerk fittings and all.
