DRIVELINE LUBRICATION

Grease Fittings are located on the Cross Assembly of each U-Joint and on the telescoping tubes. Grease the U-Joint after each 8 hours of use. Figure MntP-R-0049 & MntP-R-0050. Do not force grease through the Needle Cup Assemblies. Grease the telescoping tubes after every 8 hours use. Some PTO-to-Hitch connections may necessitate cutting a hole in the shields to be able to align the Grease Fitting holes for lubrication. Lubricate the shield bearings every 20 hours. Figure Mnt-R-0252.

DRIVELINE SHIELD REMOVAL

The Driveline Integral Shields should not become dented or otherwise damaged. The Integral Shield Assembly has a Nylon Bearing at each end and should turn freely. This nylon bearing should require lubrication every 20 hours. To remove the integral shields for replacement or repair remove metal screw in area close to shield cone. Grab cone and tube and twist tube relative to cone until white tab of bearing aligns with opening in shield cone. Pull on tube to remove complete shield half from bearing and drive half. Repeat procedure for other half of drive.

Make certain that the Driveline Integral Shields are free to telescope and rotate around the Driveline without binding.
