What it's for

Greasing the pins and pivots on the boom, arm, bucket and dozer at the start of each day. The dumper's daily and weekly chart covers 21 grease points.

Why we recommend it

Kubota's manuals for our K008-5 and U17-5 list greasing the front attachments as a daily job. Dry pins wear fast, and that wear can show up as damage at off-hire. One cartridge covers several days of greasing on a micro digger.

How to use it

  1. Wipe each grease nipple clean.
  2. Push the gun onto the nipple and pump until fresh grease just shows at the joint.
  3. Do this every morning before work, with the bucket on the ground and the engine off.

Do I really need to grease every day?

Yes. Kubota's manual lists greasing the front attachments as a daily check. It takes about 5 minutes.
