Grease Fittings
Your PTO Shaft was greased at the Factory so it will not need grease until the
scheduled maintenance as listed at the beginning of this Chapter. The Wheel
Support should have been greased when the machine was assembled and also
has a recommended grease maintenance listed.
Tools and Supplies needed:
Flexible hose grease gun
Lithium grease
Clean cloth
Note: The U-Joint Grease Fitting is sometimes located on the inside of the Joint.
The plastic Collar will need to be unclipped and pushed down to access the Fitting
for this type.
1. Wipe all dirt, etc., from the PTO Shaft grease fittings with a clean cloth.
2. Apply no more than three pumps of quality general-purpose lithium grease
with a hand-pumped grease gun to each of the two U-Joint Grease Fittings
(Figure 38).
3. Check the PTO Shaft Set Screw for tightness. If it is not tight then remove it,
apply Thread Lock
to the threads, then reinstall and tighten the Set Screw.
4. Wipe all dirt, etc., from the Wheel Support fitting with a clean cloth (Figure
39).
5. Apply quality general-purpose lithium grease with a hand-pumped grease
gun to the Wheel Support Grease Fitting as needed.

prolonged use..
