LUBRICATION

Do not let excess grease collect on or around parts,
particularly when operating in sandy areas.
See Figure 4 for lubrication points and frequency or lu-
brication based on normal operating conditions. Severe
or unusual conditions may require more frequent
lubrication.
Use a lithium grease of #2 consistency with a MOLY
(molybdenum disulfide) additive for all locations unless
otherwise noted. Be sure to clean fittings thorough-
ly before attaching grease gun. One good pump of
most guns is sufficient when the lubrication schedule
is followed.
Gearbox Lubrication
For gearbox, use a high quality gear oil with a viscosity
index of 80W or 90W and an API service rating of GL–
4 or –5 in gearboxes.

Splitter Gearbox: Fill gearbox until oil runs out the
side plug on gearbox.
Wing Gearbox: Fill gearbox until oil is just above low-
er line on dipstick. Check gearbox daily for evidence
of leakage, and contact your dealer if leakage occurs.
Use sealant on vent plug threads during installation.
Check vent plug periodically and clean if it does not re-
lieve pressure.
Driveline Lubrication
1. Lubricate the driveline slip joint every eight oper-
ating hours. Failure to maintain proper lubrication
could result in damage to U-joints, gearbox, and
driveline.
2. Lower cutter to ground, disconnect driveline from
tractor PTO shaft, and slide halves apart but do not
disconnect from each other.
3. Apply a bead of grease completely around male half
where it meets female half. Slide drive halves over
each other several times to distribute grease.
