PTO SHAFT
PTO Shaft Lubrication
The PTO shaft should be lubricated on a regular basis using lithium based grease – each
end of the shaft has 2 greasing points; one for lubrication of the universal joint and one for
lubricating the rotating fixing ring of the shaft shield – access to the lubrication points is
gained by releasing the shaft shield from its fixing ring and sliding it back along the body of
the driveshaft – the procedure and lubrication frequency is illustrated below.
