MAINTENANCE
DRIVELINES
The Drivelines and U-Joints should be inspected each morning before the Cutter is started. MntP-R-0006 and
Mnt-R-0031.
The U-Joint and CV Joint on the Driveline undergo extreme forces when the unit is turning or when the Wings
are being raised. It is important that the U-Joints and CV Joint be greased each day before the unit is started.
The U-Joints are located at each end of the Center and Wing Drivelines. The CV Joint is located at the end of
the Main Driveline. The U-Joint and CV Joint assemblies are accessible by rotating the Driveline Safety Shield
until the hole in the Shield matches up with the Grease Fitting. Use #2 Bearing Grease for lubrication. Inspect
the U-Joint for wear by holding the shaft on one side of the U-Joint while trying to rotate the shaft on the other
side of the U-Joint. If there is noticeable movement in the Driveline replace the U-joint before it causes severe
damage to the Driveline.
