bandit 150 clutch question

[woodville]

1994 bandit 150 with a Rockford 5-tt PTO-clutch. At the engage lever a small tube with a grease fitting is hanging out. Question is how often and what does this fitting go to. I have been told to grease it at least 3 times a day if running it all day. Also have heard if over greased it can ruin the clutch. Any info I have never seen this type or fitting on any other chipper before. It's power is a ford 4 cyl gas.

You have an nice machine there. Grease it only once per week. You might want to open the cover and clean it out and also that clutch needs to be kept tight. According to the dealer excessive grease will kill a clutch so be careful. Clutches are expensive!

So now i'm told this goes to the throw-out bearing it is an after market install due to some clutch repaire in the past. So how often to grease it?

I don't know about that being an add on. The BB 200+ had that little tube from the factory. Once per week for the that zerk, once/day everything else. The disc bearings I grease in the morning after starting the machine and after lunch.
