Telescoping Tubes - 8-10 pumps every 8 hours. The telescoping driveline may need to be extended or
retracted to expose the grease fitting. 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
can-not slip freely, damage to the rotary cutter or tractor may occur.
Cross Journals - 2-3 pumps every 8 hours
Lubricate until grease purges from underneath all four needle bearing caps.
Shield Retaining Bearings - 2-3 pumps every 8 hours
Check that the driveline shielding is not damaged and rotates freely on the driveline.
If sliding members are allowed to dry out to the point where the two halves cannot slip
freely, damage to the rotary cutter or tractor may occur.
