There is a regular size grease nipple on the axle. Just use a grease gun to fill.

Instructions say so. I haven't done it, but I suppose you should take it to a garage if you don't have a grease gun. Mac

If you want the wheel to roll easy and last it would be wise to grease the axel before installing the wheel. (it's hard to beleive this question is for real......)

Essentially any moving part on a bike needs to have grease applied before its first use and on a regular basis thereafter. If this is not within the buyers ability (including having the correct tools to do it with right) then it is best to take the bike to a bike shop or COOP and pay them to do the deed. In the long run it will be cheaper also.

it can get pretty dirty after cleaning a greasy pan. I think a dishwasher is essential.

This is from the instruction booklet--- "Remove metal nameplate, remove nylon lever, metal link and gear. Insert grease tube nozzle into hole on top of gear post. DO NOT fill cavity with grease. Replace link and gear, add very little grease to teeth of gear and linkage. ADD VERY LITTLE GREASE AND ONLY WHEN NECESSARY". For every day commercial use, they recommend once a month. If you are like me and only use your clippers once or twice a month then I would say once a year would be more appropriate. If you are not sure, you can always pull the cover off and check the amount of grease on the parts, just remember they advise not to over grease, a light coat is all you need.

I use white grease that you can find at the local hardware store. Keep it coated at all times so it won't rust and cease up.

Always do prep....clean with wire brush as best as possible....remove any oil or grease by cleaning with denatured alcohol or some comparable solvent

The item comes with lubricant already applied. You should not need to apply any additional lubricant.

Grease will get hung up in it. It not made for that purpose .......also it will take out too much air out of the kitchen .......will cause negative air pressure

I did so with mine and it is running like new. Do not wait to long. The grease inside turns to liquid and then just flows out of the machine with no warning. Repacked it and it is quiet. There is a video on the internet on how to do the repacking.

Very good YouTube on how to do this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eKHVvNX5eYwatched it a few times and had no trouble. Go ahead and buy the gasket too, it is easy to replace when you change the grease.

It takes what is called a pin grease gun. Part # for the grease kit which includes grease gun,oil and grease is 105-LBK1. The 105 is just the grease that IR sells. They recommend to oil it every time it is put away and to grease it every 48 hours of use or 2 times a year. Moisture from the compressed air will cause damage if it is put away wet. Grease gun is needed because the grease has to be forced from the grease fitting to the chuck.

At times a little but my answer is no, mine is also very well broke in, 60 tubes of grease, i did not have a problem before either

Most probably come with grease but I always pump grease in just to be sure. With most things that have grease fittings, you can't get too much grease. The excess comes out the seal. That's the way you know when it's fully greased.

It comes with a light coat of grease and not oil it from the factory. Its greased to proctect is from oxidation and whatnot until it is bought and used. I clean the grease off of it because I dont want grease on my cassette and chainrings.

I'm not sure if it is necessary, but I did just to be safe. I boiled mine for a few minutes before using it the first time and wash it out each time after with hot, soapy water.

You have to grease it, but not oil. It also has a service light that will come on when it needs attention.

No grease. Just flip the pan over and tap it out. The hard part is trying not to burn yourself and getting the handle out of the way.
