MAINTENANCE

2.4 Universal Joint Assemblies:

-Type of Grease: A good quality NLGI #2 EP grease, lithium soap base should be used to grease the needle bearings in cross journals, shield bearings, telescoping members and CV centeringmechanism. For heavy duty applications a compatible grease with 3 to 5% molybdenum disulfide additive may be used.

-Cross Journals: Every 8 hours.

Lubricate until grease purges from underneath all four needle bearing caps.

-Shield Retaining Bearings: Every 8 hours.

The shield bearings are greased by a fitting molded into the shielding bell. Three pumps are required.

IMPORTANT: Check that the driveline shielding is not damaged and rotates freely on the driveline.

-Constant Velocity Body: Every 4 hours.

The housing for the CV body serves as a reservoir for the lubrication of the centering mechanism. Approximately 30 pumps are required every 4 hours.

-Telescoping Tubes: Every 4 hours. Apply grease to the collar located at the middle of the shaft. The grease fitting on this collar will come exposed when the cutter wings are laying flat. Occasionally (monthly) pull the universal joint halves apart and apply grease to all sides of the slip shaft. At least once per year (more often in dusty or dirty conditions) the shielding should be removed and the old grease removed with a solvent. A fresh coat of grease should then be applied to the entire surface of the inner tube.

IMPORTANT: If the universal joint sliding members are allowed to dry out to the point where two halves cannot slip freely, damage to the rotary cutter or tractor may occur.

CAUTION! Always wear protective gloves when handling grease.

2.5 Frame

NLGI #2 EP molybdenum disulfide fortified grease is preferred for all sliding contact type applications such as frame pins.
