machine is operated in severe conditions.

Thorough monthly greasing is enough.
Use a manual or pneumatic
grease pump gun for track

Take special care to rollers which require bearings to be greased
with multipurpose grease stuffed with a grease pump to create
an internal pressure and avoid water and moisture ingression.
