The tacky nature of the product makes hand packing the preferred method of newly installed couplings to ensure even distribution throughout. Normal handling precautions should be observed as with any petroleum based products. Consult the coupling manufacturer's installation instructions for detailed lubricant application procedures. The following procedure outlines a popular lubrication method. Prior to assembly of gear couplings a coating of grease should be applied to gear teeth. After hand packing, the coupling should be rotated so the grease fitting reaches 4 o'clock, and the fitting/plug removed. A short length of 1/4 inch pipe can be affixed and grease pumped into the coupling until product is observed flowing out the purge opening at 10 o'clock. The pipe should then be removed and the plugs reinserted. This practice insures that the coupling is adequately lubricated. Routine relubrication can be accomplished with disassembly using this method. The grease will then be evenly distributed to all moving and sliding surfaces and the full benefits of the product will be realized. Special care needs to be taken when filling "Full Travel" type couplings so the correct amount of grease is charged.
