LUBRICATION

General

Refer to the lubrication diagram and grease daily all the points shown.

1.Power take-off shaft - The PTO shaft should be regularly examined to ensure that it is in good condition together with the guards. The universal joints should be greased very sparingly, i.e., one shot a week.

NOTE: Overgreasing a universal joint will blow out the cork or neoprene sealing rings that exclude the dirt from the needle bearing inside.

2.The two halves of the plastic guard should be checked daily to ensure that they can spin freely on the shaft. The nylon slip rings which support the guard on the drive shaft should be lightly greased at weekly intervals.

3.The telescoping drive shaft should be similarly separated and grease applied to the internal shaft at approximately 100 hour intervals.
