DRIVELINE LUBRICATION
Grease Fittings are located on the Cross Assembly of each U-Joint and on the telescoping tubes. Grease the
U-Joint after each 8 hours of use. Figure 5. Do not force grease through the Needle Cup Assemblies.
WARNING! When attaching PTO yoke to tractor PTO shaft, it is important that the spring-activated locking
collarslides freely and locking ball are seated on the groove on PTO shaft. A loose yoke could
slip off and result in personal injury or damage to cutter.
BLADE SPINDLE LUBRICATION
Blade spindles must be lubricated daily (every 8 hrs). Access lubrication fitting through hole in outer sheilds and
in center gearbox mounting. Each spindle has vent hole in top just under drive pulley and must be lubricated
enough each time to force small amount of grease out. NOTE: Do not over lube as excess grease may get on
belt drive.
The telescoping PTO shaft inside the shielding must be lubricated daily. Figure 6.
Disconnect driveline from tractor and pull halves apart. Insert grease into outer profile cavity on half attached to
gearbox and spread evenly. Install driveline halves together.
Reconnect driveline to tractor. Raise and lower cutter after applying grease to spread over joint working area.
