3.
Apply grease with a grease gun to the fittings on the
 
journal crosses and on the slip joint. Apply grease until it
exists through the seals. See Lubrication Procedure on
 
this page.
4.
Check the drive shaft for correct balance before the
 
machine is put into operation. Lower the outriggers to lift
the wheels off the ground. Operate the drive train and
 
check for vibration. If vibration is found, stop the
machine and check the drive shaft. Make sure the drive
 
shaft yokes are in the same plane.

Lubrication Procedure

 
The drive shaft is an important part of the drive train and
 
needs regular maintenance. There is a grease fitting on the
slip joint and on each journal cross. Apply grease to these
fittings every week or 50 hours of operation, whichever
 
occurs first. Use Lithium based, E.P. No. 2 bearing grease.
Always apply enough grease to the fitting to remove old
 
grease. On the slip joint, apply grease to the fitting until the
grease comes through the hole in the end off the shaft. Put
 
your finger over the hole Figure 8-53 and continue to apply
grease until the grease shows at the seal on slip joint.
 
At each lubrication, check the drive shaft for side movement.
As wear in the bearings increases, the side movement will
 
increase. Movement must be to minimum to prevent
vibration during operation.

WHEEL & TIRES
Never try to disassemble the wheel until all air is released
from the tire. The retaining ring and rim of the wheel and
tire can come off with explosive force and can cause
serious injury or death. Be extremely careful when
working with them. Always use a tire and rim cage guard
when inflating tires.

Tire Inflation

Check the tire pressure daily before operation. Also look for
cuts and damage.

Check the tightness of the lug nuts weekly or after every 50
hours of operation, whichever occurs first.
