WHAT DO
I NEED TO DO TO BE
A
GREASE FITTING
BOUNTY HUNTER
?
SINCE THEN, I'VE BEEN
ON A
BOUNTY HUNT
FOR ALL
UNLUBED GREASE FITTINGS
. EACH
MARK
ON THIS GUN REPRESENTS
ONE LESS CHANCE
FOR AN
ACCIDENT
CAUSED BY
LACK
OF
LUBE

steering
components such
as the
idler arms
,
tie
rod ends
,
pitman arms
,
ball joints
and
radius
rods
must have
g
-

a
or else
!
why do
you
mark
your
grease gun
after
a
job
?
there was a time
when i didn't know how
important
lubing
all fittings
was to
equipment operation
. there
was a time when i only worried
about fittings that were
easy
for inspectors
to
see
.
I'D JUST AS
SOON
NOT WAIT
FOR
AN
ACCIDENT
TO GET
INVOLVED IN THAT
KIND OF
HUNT
.
"THERE WAS A TIME WHEN I DIDN'T CARE
WHETHER I GREASED
ANY
OF THEM. BUT, MY
BEST FRIEND
DIED
IN AN ACCIDENT CAUSED BY
A
PART
THAT
FAILED
FOR
LACK OF LUBE
