MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION
General
Refer to the lubrication diagram and grease daily all the points shown.
1. Power take-off shaft - The PTO shaft should be regularly examined to ensure that it is in good condition
together with the guards. The universal joints should be greased very sparingly, i.e., one shot a week.
NOTE: Overgreasing a universal joint will blow out the cork or neoprene sealing rings that exclude the dirt from
the needle bearing inside.
2. The two halves of the plastic guard should be checked daily to ensure that they can spin freely on the
shaft. The nylon slip rings which support the guard on the drive shaft should be lightly greased at weekly
intervals.
3. The telescoping drive shaft should be similarly separated and grease applied to the internal shaft at
approximately 100 hour intervals.
