Phew thank goodness for that! Lol
Not really IMHO for home use any of the standard Polyurea NLGI 2 greases should be OK
Just dont use any of the complex soap greases or Lithium based, Find one you can get cheap and we can discuss further brand types and differences, inhibitors etc.
Yep thats a good start, you have the making of the Rix technical expert on here. Way to go. Trust but verify.
Most if not all of the so called problems with Rix on this forum is by and large the forum group experience of buying old scrap military surplus 30 year old "clunkers" then moaning why they can't get parts cheap and why they dont work off the bat. That and a total inability to read the manual fully first. Plug in press go and wonder what the funny noise was before it stopped. That and a 3 blades on the fan start, the thinking being better than non I guess. And the I wonder why it has blank plugs were the relief valves are supposed to go. Oh well lets start her up anyhow,
Other clasics like pin prick hole in the first stage cooling coil when the driven pulley is rammed on the shaft right up touching the coil, others like changing from electric drive to gas engine and wondering why it fills so fast and the other way around. My all time favorate was rod end bearing seized and con rod snaped (as its designed to do) customer wants it fixed under warranty, The inside of the shrould has 2 kilos of gease stuck to it yet the bearing is bone dry. Grease tube is half empty with a wooden stick poking out of it but the grease gun is still in the box never used
How have you been lubricating the zerc grease nipples with a stick? asked the engineer. Yes says the lady dive shop owner there is no instuctions in the manual how to use a grease gun so we used a stick like the outboard motor shop does next door. Give me strength. And Trish if your reading this Yes its you.
