BEFORE undertaking any greasing of ball valves - contact the manufacturer for their recommendations. In general, for ball valves: if it is working OK, leave it alone.
RE: greassing ball valve
I do absolutely agree PeterIgg, good point! Hope this also is (somewhat?) obvious from my answer!

.. godel123, I do not believe we are talking about the gearbox. Even at that many gearboxes (mechanical gearboxes) are greased for life, pneumatic only lightly greased or non-greased, electrical usually not or exceptionally at given points at given intervals.
As for grease type if required: as given in the gearbox manual.
