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
lubrication based on normal operating conditions.
Severe or unusual conditions may require more fre-
quent 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 thoroughly
before attaching grease gun. One good pump of most
guns is sufficient when the lubrication schedule is fol-
lowed.
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 Gear-
box; Fill gearbox until oil is just above lower line on dip-
stick. 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 releive pressure.
Driveline Lubrication
1. Lubricate the driveline slip joint every eight
operating 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.
