How often do you grease the bearings on your Ferris wheel?

Our maintenance schedule says every 30 days but I've heard some shows do it every two weeks during peak season. We run a 60-foot Eli Bridge wheel and it gets a lot of hours. Curious what other operators are doing and what grease you're using. We've been using a lithium-based NLGI #2.
