Driveline Lubrication; Lift Type Driveline & Pull Jackshaft Shields - RHINO 260 Operator's Manual

DRIVELINE LUBRICATION

Grease Fittings are located on the Cross Assembly of each U-Joint and on the telescoping tubes. Grease the
U-Joint after each 8 hours of use. Figure Mnt-R-0283. Do not force grease through the Needle Cup
Assemblies. Grease the telescoping tubes after every 8 hours use. Some PTO-to-Hitch connections may
necessitate cutting a hole in the shields to be able to align the Grease Fitting holes for lubrication. Lubricate the
shield bearings every 40 hours.
Make certain that the Driveline Integral Shields are free to telescope and rotate around the
Driveline without binding.
LIFT TYPE DRIVELINE & PULL JACKSHAFT SHIELDS
To remove the main inner driveline shield, Remove the locking screws. Align the bearing tabs with the cone
pockets. FIGURE Mnt-0026. Remove the half-guard and remove the bearing ring. FIGURE Mnt-R-0012.
Inspect the driveline shield for worn areas or cracks. If the shield has any dents or cracks, replace the Shield.
While the Shields are off, examine the Driveline for signs of abnormal wear, bent or twisted shafts, or cracks in
the shafts or tubes. Check to see that the Drivelines telescope easily. If the Drivelines do not telescope
properly or show signs of abnormal wear, the shaft should be repaired or replaced.
