And why shouldn¡¯t they. Under-lubricated guides can wear excessively, which leads to performance problems and premature failure.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br/></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">These labor-intensive lubrication practices, however, do not come cheap. We estimate that manual lubrication can cost upwards of $500 per grease fitting when you consider the cost of the lubricant itself and the wages of the guy with the grease gun. And that figure doesn¡¯t begin to capture the total cost of manual lubrication when you consider that many grease fittings are difficult to access and service without triggering some downtime.</span></p><p><br/></p>
