Thanks! I used "Green Grease Synthetic Waterproof High Temperature Grease". Got it from my local auto parts store. Figured with potentially wet grass and the high temps the rotary generates due to friction, it would be the right choice.

Princess Cut Lawn Care this is the grease sold by the manufacturer (ep0). One tube will last you several applications. Oregon 49-015 Grease Ep-O Snapper 4 www.amazon.com/dp/B0018U49JE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_NnUoFbXXVJGM6
No need to baby it. It’s a well built unit. You just got that thing. Ten hours of use is an amazingly long time. I’ve had mine for two years, I grease at beginning of mowing year, and three months into it.
What sort of grease did you use? I've seen comments on the lawnforum about Maruyama EP0 grease but I can't find anywhere in the UK selling that and they don't ship internationally.

Maintenance for the win! Gonna be a helpful vid for all the rotary scissor folks out there.
Thanks bro! 👊👍🏼
I wonder if you can replace those screws with grease zerks to make it easier/faster?
That is a great idea! I will look into it. Thanks!
@@TheLawnShark Can you?
@@dustincmills yes you can. I haven’t done it yet, but you are able to replace them.
I'm surprised the grease gun didn't make a mess. Mine always does. Great short video Dino!
I think it helped that it was so empty. Could nit believe how much grease it took.
Great video 👍 nice and quick!!! I got my second set coming just got confirmation and will be back on track to 1 step closer to going lower.
Nice! And thanks for watching!
Well needed vid, good job! Question what grease do you use? The brand?

The good old motto, take care of it and it will take care of you.
Sound advice and motto!
You didn't even mention what kind of Grease it is and who makes it
I use a marine grade all purpose.
No need to baby it. It’s a well built unit. You just got that thing. Ten hours of use is an amazingly long time. I’ve had mine for two years, I grease at beginning of mowing year, and three months into it.
I'm sure, but at $300 a pop, I am going to make sure it lasts. Good to know you've had a good experience.
Always fun to get the kids interrupting...good times. PITTL!
Yeah, they come out just as you need to say something! 😂
Stay greasy my friend 😁👍🏼
HAHA! Always! 😂
replace bolt with zerk fitting or add zerk fitting custom
Thanks
what grease do you recommend?
I use a marine grade all purpose. With the potential for a wet lawn, it seems to do the trick.
@@TheLawnShark do you think Lucas Oil White Lithium Grease will work?
@@PNWlawnguy1973 Honestly, I don't know, but I think so.
Good vid. Why not swop out the retaining screws for grease nipples.
I have not swapped them out because I am lazy. 😜 It's on my list of things to do. Thanks for watching!

It's a shame they didn't put a zirk fitting on the first bolt you removed. Great video!
I am going to look into installing one on there if I can. Would make it a lot simpler.
@@TheLawnShark That was going to be my comment! Can a zerk fitting be put in place of the bolts
@@dmaxrobful Yes, it definitely can be modified to have a zerk fitting in place of the screws.
What kind of grease do you use?
I use Lucas Oil Marine Grease... www.lowes.com/pd/Lucas-Oil-Products-14-oz-Marine-Grease/50353742?cm_mmc=shp
