[TowerTalk] Grease for motorized winch

[Cox, Norman R.]

     I have a U.S. Towers HDX-555 (motorized) that has worked great.  After a couple of months in the nested position, I found the winch gearing seized up.  I was able to break it free with a crowbar.  I checked the gearbox fluid -- just fine (right level and clean).


    In the fine print at the bottom of the tower literature, it mentioned that I should grease the bearing/bushing fittings with lithium complex grease.  I don't know that much about lubricants -- Could someone suggest the right type of lithium complex grease I should use?  I found a number of different types at stores and on the internet, but don't know if it matters or not.


Thanks!


Norm
