I have observed several methods for motor lubrication, and have a Q or two.

1. Grease/zerk fittings:
How do you know when you've pumped enough grease in?
At what intervals?

Best to RTFM. The motor manufacturers probably had a pamphlet that
gave their recommendations. To the best of my recollection, GE
recommended greasing their motors with grease every year if the motor
was run 80 hours a week or more. And every three years if only run 40
hours a week.

I think you remove the plug below the shaft and pump in grease in the
zerk until grease comes out the hole below the shaft. Should be one or
two pumps on a grease gun.
