One I might add is to develop a standard pattern for how you grease. Say start at the ight front and go down that side then around the back and forward to the left front or some pattern like that.
That reminds me of a story from years ago in the Dark Continent. The factory operator trainer was showing new operators the greasing routine for some new graders just delivered to the custome. This was back in the day when operators were actually EXPECTED to grease their own machines. He stressed the need to be methodical and to go round the machine following a fixed route and hitting all the zerks on the way, keeping the grease gun clean, cleaning each zerk with a rag before & after greasing, etc, etc.
So when he got to the end of the demonstration he cleaned the grease gun one last time and replaced it in the machine tool box. As he walked away from the toolbox he realised that he had failed to grease a couple of points. So he apologized to the trainees, did a U-turn back to the toolbox, collected the grease gun, greased the last points, cleaned the grease gun again, and returned it to the toolbox.
A year later he went back to the same place and asked the operators to demonstrate their greasing procedure to him. Well you've probably already guessed it......... they greased the machine, put the grease gun back in the toolbox, walked away, did a U-turn back to the toolbox and grabbed the grease gun again, then greased the last couple of points. As he said afterwards, he didn't have the heart to tell them, plus the machine was getting fully greased so why complicate things..?
