CAUTION – Allow only trained personnel to
operate or service this implement.
Know and understand all precau-
tions before assembly, service or
operation. Also read and understand
all safety precautions in the tractor
operator’s manual.
Lubrication
Gearbox
Check gearbox lubricant every 25 hours.
1. When oil is cold, remove the top plug (figure 1).
Make sure oil is level with the plug hole.
2. If needed, add gear oil meeting SPI GL5 80w-90
classification. Do not exceed a 50/50 mix with
synthetic oil.
3. Reinstall the plug.
NOTE – You do not have to change gearbox oil.
Drive Shaft
After every 8 operating hours, lubricate 3 grease points
(figure 2) on the drive shaft with multi-purpose grease.
Do not over grease universal joints.
Bearings
All bearings on the sweeper are permanently lubricated
for long life and require no lubrication.
Drive Chain
Lubricate with oil when changing brush sections.

Tractor Air Filter
Due to dusty conditions, check the tractor air filter
often. Further instructions appear in the tractor
operator’s manual. Be sure to follow the recommenda-
tions for “extreme conditions” as the air filter can be
affected by dust and other debris raised by the
sweeper.
