The 12.5 kg packaging is ideal for supplying central lubrication systems or filling manual grease guns in the workshop.
Related Parts and Hardware
To apply grease from the bucket, a grease pump (mounted on the bucket) or a spatula for manual filling of guns is necessary. We recommend regular replacement of grease nipples (zerks).
⚠️ Operational Warning
Using low-quality greases in modern JCB machines can lead to rapid wear of expensive pins and bushings. JCB HP grease was developed to withstand lubrication intervals recommended by the manufacturer.
Part Role in the Machine and Failure Diagnostics
JCB HP grease creates a protective film that separates mating metal surfaces.
›Squeaking joints (lack of grease or poor quality grease).
›Excessive play (bushing and pin wear).
› Rusty coating around pins (grease washed out by water).
› Bearing overheating (too much friction).

🔧 Expert Guide: Key Installation Tips
Filling: When transferring grease from the pail to a hand grease gun, try not to aerate the grease. Air bubbles prevent effective pumping.
Cleanliness: Always close the pail after use. Sand and construction dust mixed with grease act like sandpaper on pins.
Lubrication: Pump grease until clean grease begins to flow out of the joint, pushing out old, worn grease and contaminants.
