I have bought some aerosol grease (lubricant) for it. I'd like to know where to apply it. Does anyone know where/how to apply it?

Schwinn is a good brand, so I would do what they say to do and no more. I don't remember the directions saying to lube it, but if they do, use what they suggest. Can't believe it would be aerosol form, but do whatever the manufacturer says to do. If you don't have the manuals, look them up online.

You might want to check the assembly manual (http://download.nautilus.com/supportdocs/AM/Schwinn/SCH_460_AM.pdf) and the owner's manual (http://download.nautilus.com/supportdocs/OM/Schwinn/SCH_460_OM.pdf) for any indication of where to apply lubricant.

Best to pump grease is a displacement pump. I do not remember what type of pump that one is

I used a good, high quality wheel bearing grease. By the way, they're working well! I hope that helps Kevin!

I have been using this air tool since the day it arrived on cars, trucks, small engines and heavy duty vehicles. The ONLY lube I use in it is the standard air tool oil in the squeeze bottle. Never had any problems and sure I won't either. The only time I will use lithium grease is when taking a broken air tool apart just to grease the inside parts. I use an air compressor on most of my air tools but also run nitrogen when using the EXACT SAME air tools from home, at the race track. Still no problems.

Any multi-purpose grease will work fine. It does not need to be packed with grease. Probably 5, or 6, squirts with the grease gun is plenty.And then every 3, or 4 months.

Yes, you do need to use a lubricant. I used Griot's Speed Shine liberally and it worked great.

It's not technically a grease...it's not thick and oily. It's a really thin lubricant. Yes, it sprays on and dries black.

Always do prep....clean with wire brush as best as possible....remove any oil or grease by cleaning with denatured alcohol or some comparable solvent

A bristle brush and hot water does the trick for me. I use mild detergent and haven't seen anything go wrong yet. Although my mom said it's better to use lemon juice to clean the grease instead, but then again she is a little more old school than me.

Grease and is really visual. You don't want to use any ruff material. I do a grease cleaner then go over it with baby oil if you want it to look like new. Yep baby oil I sad it olive oil work to to don't get any streeks

Hello, you should look at the instructional videos for skateboards and the lubrication thereof. I also did a google search for"skateboard bearing grease." The search turned up more articles than I cared to read. The gist of that research is that this grease is heavy. Use a bike bearing product. Lubricate the bearings as needed. The special lubricants are not all that expensive and you use a tiny amount. I suggest watching Youtube videos on how to clean and lubricate skate wheel bearings. It is a small project that will truly help all the way around. Best of luck. You will be fine.

I have used quite a few different things, and find that grease seems to work best. The grease I used is some old bicycle grease I had lying around. I believe that Kershaw uses Tri-Flow grease, but any multi-purpose grease would probably work.

I placed the grease in a glass tupperware and stored it in the refrigerator. I did not use the container it came in because the containers came with it partly leaked. I just placed my second order and am hoping they fixed the packaging issue.

Lubricant is provided by the manufacturer. Be aware this piece of equipment is prone to excessive rust. I would not recommend it.

The only lubrication I use on all my air tools is a few drops of air tool oil into the air inlet before use each day. The alternative is to use an automatic oiler on the supply air line.. The automatic oiler is only used on air lines that are used for air tools only as the oil will contaminate the hoses if they are also used for spray painting etc....I hope this is of help for you....

the non aerosol spray works the best. I found a pump trigger spray which works really well

Mine did the same yesterday. Something in the air? HA! I sprayed it with a dry lubricant and kept working it and now it's like new. Of course mine is outside (gate) so not totally unexpected. I have always heard not to spray regular oil as it gathers dust. You can find dry spray for locks (graphite) at Amazon or your local hardware etc. Good luck.
