MAINTENANCE

To lubricate telescoping section of driveline, disconnect yoke from tractor and compress driveline until both slots on shields are aligned and grease fitting is exposed. Lubricate both u-joints before re-attaching to tractor. Inspect shields to ensure they rotate freely, replace bearings or shield if damaged.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE:

Inspect belt drive for correct tension and remove any debris from inside belt shields. Incorrect tension will result in premature belt failure. Check belt tension after first hour of operation. Mnt-FL-0029_A.

Inspect for and tighten any loose fasteners.

Routinely inspect cutter shaft for missing or worn knives. Replace knives as outlined in Blade Replacement Procedure, Maintenance Section, page 5-4.

Clear any debris from gear box area, to prevent overheating. Clean area around breather plug regularly.

Always ensure all hitch pins and clips are locked in place before operation.

Inspect bearing assemblies to ensure locking collars are locked in place. See Section 4.4.1 for locking procedure.

All shielding must be in place before operating shredder. Inspect front rubber shield for wear and replace if necessary.
