MAINTENANCE
2.4 Universal Joint Assemblies:
Lubricate until grease purges from underneath all four needle bearing caps.
The shield bearings are greased by a fitting molded into the shielding bell. Three pumps are required.
IMPORTANT: Check that the driveline shielding is not damaged and rotates freely on the driveline.
The housing for the CV body serves as a reservoir for the lubrication of the centering mechanism. Approximately 30 pumps are required every 4 hours.
IMPORTANT: If the universal joint sliding members are allowed to dry out to the point where two halves cannot slip freely, damage to the rotary cutter or tractor may occur.
CAUTION! Always wear protective gloves when handling grease.
