LUBRICATION

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

See Figure 5 for lubrication points and frequency or lubrication based on normal operating conditions. Severe or unusual conditions may require more fre- quent lubrication.

Use a lithium grease of #2 consistency with a MOLY (molybdenum disulfide) additive for all locations unless otherwise noted. Be sure to clean fittings thoroughly before attaching grease gun. One good pump of most guns is sufficient when the lubrication schedule is fol- lowed.

For gearbox, use a high quality gear oil with a viscosity index of 80W or 90W and an API service rating of GL–

4 or –5 in gearboxes. Fill gearbox until oil runs out the side plug on gearbox. Check gearbox daily for evi- dence of leakage, and contact your dealer if leakage occurs. Use sealant on vent plug threads during instal- lation. Check vent plug periodically and clean if it does not relieve pressure.

Driveline Lubrication

1.Lubricate the driveline slip joint every eight operating hours. Failure to maintain proper lubrication could result in damage to U-joints, gearbox, and driveline.

2.Lower cutter to ground, disconnect driveline from tractor PTO shaft, and slide halves apart but do not disconnect 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.
