Do I need to grease the gears before use?

No, the JX will come already lubricated. We recommend greasing the internal acme rod every 90 days via the grease zerk/fitting near the drive shaft. General purpose grease can also be applied periodically directly to the miter gears of the unit by removing the gearbox cap as needed.
