I will have a couple operators perform the greasing of our 322. Just telling them to "grease it" is not good enough. I want to make a chart that stays in the machine. I ran through the manual for grease and it just mentions the frequency which is basically daily on bucket links, weekly on boom/stick pins, and around monthly on turn table. I realize this is more based on hours but what I noticed in the manual is no call at all for qty and that leaves room for errors.
I'd like to shake this down to "pumps per zerk" or something. For instance the bucket pin has 2-3x the surface area of the boom cyl pins so obviously you cannot just say "10 pumps per zerk".
Anyone figure out a more fool proof method? I usually don't go with the method of having grease puking all over but we don't want under lubed pins either.
