LUBRICATION INFORMATION

1.Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts, particularly when operating in sandy areas.

2.See Figure 10 for lubrication points and frequency of lubrication based on normal operating condi- tions. Severe or unusual conditions may require more frequent lubrication.

3.Use a lithium grease of #2 consistency with a MOLY (molybdenum disulfide) additive for all loca- tions unless otherwise noted. Be sure to clean fit- tings thoroughly before attaching grease gun. Two good pumps of most guns is sufficient when the lubrication schedule is followed.

CHAIN MAINTENANCE

The drive chain should be inspected every 50 hours. New chain has a tendency to stretch, so it is necessary to check the chain tension to prevent flopping around, thus causing potential problems. Chain tension is pre- set with the torsion spring. If the chain becomes exces- sively loose, it may be necessary to remove one link (two pitches). If unable to reassemble, add an offset link to lengthen the chain.

NOTICE

■Replacement chain should be only high quality original equipment chain for longer life.

When being stored for a long period or at end of sea- son, change the oil, adding .8 quarts #00 gear fluid, and rotate the roller several times allowing the chain to be coated with lubricant, enhancing chain life. Rotate the roller periodically to maintain lubrication.

PTO DRIVE LINES

Periodically check the yokes on front PTO. Make sure the bolts and nuts are tight and the yoke is not moving on the shaft. PTO shafts and U-joints should be spar- ingly lubricated monthly.

SPROCKETS

Sprockets should be checked to be sure hex bolt is tight and the sprocket cannot move on the shaft.

QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN MAINTENANCE

GEARBOX LUBRICATION

The gearbox is almost maintenance-free, but should be checked quarterly to be sure that the oil level is main- tained at half full. Use plug located halfway up back face of gearbox to check/fill oil. A high quality gear oil with a viscosity index of 80W or 90W and an API ser- vice rating of GL-4 or -5 is recommended for use in the gearbox. Oil should be changed after the first 30 hours or 30 days of operating. Then, normal change should be adequate. In the case of seasonal usage, it is best to change the oil at the end of the season to remove moisture and corrosive contaminants.

BEARING LUBRICATION

Highest quality bearings are used on the tiller. Only tri- ple-seal bearings are used on the rotor shaft, which operates down in the dirt. Lubrication of the bearings will vary considerably with conditions. As a rule, bear- ings should be under-lubricated rather than over-lubri- cated. Over-lubrication can cause seals to blow out.

NOTICE

■Replacement bearings should be only high quality original equipment bearings for longer life.

Install new complete bearing housing if needed or just replace the bearing insert. The shafts should be straight, free of burrs, and up to size. If shaft is worn, replace it prior to completing assembly.

DRIVELINE LUBRICATION

1.Lubricate the driveline slip joint every 8 hours of operation. Failure to maintain proper lubrication could result in damage to u-joints, gearbox, and driveline.

2.Lower tiller to ground, disconnect driveline from tractor PTO shaft, and slide halves apart. Do not disconnect the halves from each other.

3.Apply a bead of grease completely around male half where it meets female half. Slide drive halves over each other several times to distribute grease.

4.Apply one pump of grease to each driveline u-joint grease fitting.

5.Apply one pump of grease to each of the plastic driveline shield bearings.

6.If using a shear pin drive, lubricate the shear yoke with grease to prevent galling.
