4-2 LUBRICATION (Figures 4-1A, B & C)

NOTE

The multi-purpose grease referenced in this section is an NLGI Grade 2 type grease. Figure 4-2 shows the necessary position for servicing wing drivelines.

BEFORE EACH USE

1.Driveline Universal Joints - Apply multi-purpose grease with grease gun.

2.Driveline Guard - Apply 2-3 shots of multi-pur- pose grease with grease gun to plastic fitting.

3.Wheels - Apply multi-purpose grease with grease gun.

4.Caster Pivot - Apply multi-purpose grease with grease gun.

5.Constant Velocity (CV) Joint - Position CV joint as straight as possible to be sure grease will pene- trate to ball joint. Lubricate the central body with a minimum of 30 shots of grease every 8 hours. Lubricate telescoping members with 10 shots every 8 hours and every 40 hours pull the two sections apart, apply thin coat of multi-purpose grease to outside of inner (male) section and reassemble.

20HOURS

6.Deck Drivelines - Disconnect PTO driveline, pull the two sections apart, apply thin coat of multi- purpose grease to outside of inner (male) section. Reassemble sections and install. Pull each section to be sure driveline and shields are securely con- nected. Make certain PTO shielding is in good condi- tion.

40HOURS

7.Gearboxes (5) - Add EP80W-90 gear oil, if nec- essary, to bring oil level to check plug or dip stick mark.
