How can I accurately collect a grease sample using the OELCHECK grease sampling kit?

[AylaDella]

To get a reliable grease sample with the OELCHECK kit, follow these steps: First, clean the sampling area thoroughly with the provided cleaning cloth to avoid contamination. Next, use the syringe to extract the grease. Attach the tube to the syringe, insert it into the lubrication point, and draw the necessary amount of grease, being careful not to introduce air. Bend the tube and place it in the OELCHECK sample bottle with the bend upward. If the syringe isn't suitable, use a spatula to collect the sample. Mix the grease with the spatula to ensure a representative sample and transfer it to the bottle. For rolling bearings, get grease from the cage area or between rolling elements. For larger bearings, take grease from sampling openings, ideally from high-load areas, and combine the samples. Finally, document your sample information online or on the provided form, attach the barcode to the bottle, and place it, along with the form, in the leak-proof envelope for shipment to OELCHECK for analysis.
