1. Preparation Before Greasing

• Park the road roller on level ground, stop the engine, and apply the parking brake.
• Clean the grease fittings (grease nipples) to remove dust, mud and dirt to avoid contamination.
• Prepare a suitable grease gun and high-quality multi-purpose or extreme-pressure (EP) grease recommended by the manufacturer.
• Check the maintenance manual for the correct grease type and greasing points.

2. Locate Main Greasing Points

• Front and rear articulated joints
• Steering cylinders and pins
• Wheel hubs and bearings
• Vibratory drum bearings and brackets
• Rocker arms, linkage pins and bushings
• Shaking levers and connecting joints

3. Correct Greasing Procedure

• Connect the grease gun tightly to the grease fitting.
• Pump grease slowly and evenly until new, clean grease appears at the seal or joint gap.
• Stop pumping once excess grease comes out — do not over-grease.
• Wipe away spilled grease to keep components clean.
• Repeat for all lubrication points one by one.

4. Important Notes

• Grease the machine every day or every 8 operating hours, especially in dusty, muddy or wet conditions.
• Use only the specified grease; mixing different types may cause failure.
• If grease does not go in, check for blocked fittings, worn bushings or damaged seals.
• In cold weather, use low-temperature grease to ensure smooth flow.
• Always follow the manufacturer’s manual for interval and standards.

5. Benefits of Proper Greasing

• Reduces wear and extends component life
• Prevents rust, water and dust damage
• Lowers maintenance cost and breakdown rate
• Keeps the roller stable and efficient in operation
