-Shield Retaining Bearings: 1 pumps every 50 Hours. The shield bearings are greased by a fitting molded into
the shielding bell. Three pumps are
Check that the driveline shielding is not damaged and rotates freely on the driveline.
-Telescoping Tubes: 5-8 pumps every 50 Hours. The grease fitting will become exposed when the wings are
laying flat. Occasionally (monthly) pull the universal joint halves apart and apply grease to all sides of the shaft.
At least once per year (more often in dusty or dirty conditions) the shielding should be removed and the old
grease wiped from the shaft. Do not use an alcohol or acid based solvent to remove the grease. A fresh coat of
grease should be applied to the entire surface of the inner tube.
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.
