Default Polaris "do not grease" Fittings?

Only grease fittings Polaris owner's manual wants you to grease are the ball joints and the yoke on the drive shaft. What about the fittings on the a-arms? I have heard of fittings like that on machinery occasionally only used to purge contaminants. Should they be greased or not??? Manual indicates that the other fittings are greased for life at the factory?

I grease mine every time I drop into deep water. All sorts of crap comes out of them when I really get it wet.
