Many of the equipment components are HEAVY (70 lbs or greater) and Special Lifting Procedures are recommended. Use lifting assistance such as mechanical assistance, two people, and proper lifting techniques when connecting or installing the driveshaft to reduce the possibility of back injuries.

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

The U-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 be greased per schedule before the unit is started. The U-Joints are located at each end of the Center and Wing Drivelines. The U-Joint assemblies are accessible by rotating the Driveline Safety Shield until the hole in the Shield matches up with the Grease Fitting. Lubricate all fittings with a good quality Lithium Soap compatible E.P. grease meeting the N.L.G.I. #2 specifications and containing no more than 1% Molybdenum Disulfide. An E.P. grease meeting the N.L.G.I. #2 specifications and containing 3% Molybdenum Disulfide may be substituted in the telescoping members only. 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.
