A greasing point (zerk fitting) is located at the back of the front of the BOA WINCH, we recommend greasing your winches periodically depending on use and at least one maintenance per season with an extreme-pressure (EP) synthetic lithium-based grease with molybdenum grade 1 or 2, in colder areas be sure to use grease grade 1 or even grade 0 in arctic regions. An overflow is located under the casing in case of over greasing. Here are some types of grease that fit these recommendations: Warmer Climate: Valvoline Full Synthetic Grease VV985 (NLGI grade: 2) ExxonMobil Mobil 1 Synthetic Grease (NLGI grade: 2) Lucas HEAVY DUTY MINING & CONSTRUCTION GREASE #10881 (NLGI grade: 2) Colder Climate: Petro-Canada PRECISION SYNTHETIC MOLY (NLGI grade: 1) Chevron Delo Syn-Grease SXD 220 Moly 5% EP #259115 (NLGI grade: 1) ExxonMobil Mobil 1 Epic EP Moly (NLGI grade: 1.5)
