DRIVELINE LUBRICATION

The Drivelines and U-Joints should be inspected each morning before the mower is started. Mnt-0024.

The U-Joint and CV Joint on the Driveline undergo extreme forces when the unit is turning or when the Wings are being raised. It is important that the U-Joints and CV Joint be greased each day before the unit is started, and after each 8 hours of use. The U-Joints are located at each end of the Center and Wing Drivelines. The CV Joint is located at the end of the Main Driveline. The U-Joint and CV Joint assemblies are accessible by rotating the Driveline Safety Shield until the hole in the Shield matches up with the Grease Fitting. Use #2 Bearing Grease for lubrication. Do not force grease through the Needle Cup Assemblies. Inspect the U-Joint for wear by holding the shaft on one side of the U-Joint while trying to rotate the shaft on the other side of the U-Joint. If there is noticeable movement in the Driveline replace the U-joint before it causes severe damage to the Driveline.

Points A and B MUST be lubricated every 8 hours.

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 8 hours. To remove the Integral Shields for replacement or repair, turn the three Nylon Nuts 1/4 turn in the Shield Slots of the Cone and Tube and remove them. Slip the Shield Cone Assembly off inner section of the Driveline. Install the new or repaired Shield on the Driveline. Place the split Nylon Bearing over the Driveline Housing of Shaft against the Yoke and in the Bearing groove. Install shield over the Housing so the Nylon Bearing fits into the Shield Bearing Retainer. Align a slot in the Shield Cone with one of the slots in the Shield.

CV DRIVELINE PROFILE LUBRICATION

Grease telescoping profile tube through slots in shield tubes.

NOTE: If slots do not align, cut another slot in outer shield that will align with hole in inner shield.
