Quick tips

If it's in the dirt, you should grease it daily. For example, the grease zerks on the end of the pins near your bucket.
Before greasing, ensure your machine is parked on level ground with the linkage extended all the way – this allows you to perform your daily greasing tasks without having to reposition your machine
Too much grease will not hurt your machine, but it will make it look messy
Put enough grease in until you see it bubble out of the joint – this will push the dirt out and keep the machine performing optimally
